8. In the New Members section, you add the IP address and service of
the Access Proxy servers to the pool.
a) In the Address box, type the IP address of the external interface
of the Access Proxy server.
In our example, we type 192.168.10.100.
b) In the Service Port box, type the service number you want to use
for this device, or specify a service by choosing a service name
from the list. In our example, we type 5061.
Note: If you are using HTTPS tunneling, use 443 for the service.
c) Click the Add button to add the member to the list.
d) Repeat steps a-c for each Access Proxy device you want to add to
the pool. In our example, we repeat these steps once for the other
external interface of the Access Proxy: 192.168.10.101.

Creating the TCP profile
For this deployment, we configure a new TCP profile. In this profile, we set
the Idle Timeout value to 604800 (one week). If a connection is completely
idle for a period of a week, the BIG-IP LTM system will reset the
connection.
To create a new TCP profile
1. On the Main tab, expand Local Traffic.
2. Click Profiles.
The HTTP Profiles screen opens.
3. On the Menu bar, from the Protocol menu, select TCP.
4. In the upper right portion of the screen, click the Create button.
The New TCP Profile screen opens.
5. In the Name box, type a name. In our example, we type ap_tcp.
6. In the Idle Timeout row, check the Custom box. In the seconds
box, type 604800.
7. Modify the rest of the settings as applicable for your network.
8. Click the Finished button.
