The Services option has been added to VIP objects. When services and port forward are configured, only a single mapped port can be configured. However, multiple external ports can be mapped to that single internal port. This configuration was made possible to allow for complex scenarios where multiple sources of traffic are using multiple services to connect to a single computer, while requiring a combination of source and destination NAT, and not requiring numerous VIPs to be bundled into VIP groups. VIPs with different services are considered non-overlapping.
When the Services field is configured in a Virtual IP (VIP), it allows you to specify multiple services or ports for the same VIP. This eliminates the need to create separate VIPs for different services, as you can define multiple services within a single VIP using the Services field. This is particularly useful for simplifying configuration and management.
