Port Lock Down Feature

The port lockdown is one of the security feature in BIG-IP systems that helps to secure

the device from unwanted connection request.

It defines the set of allowed protocols and services to manage and access the F5.

It controls the level of access to the F5 using each Self-IP's configured on the device.

The device will refuse the connection request made using a protocol or service that are

not part of the allowed list.
