NimbostratusARP problem with F5
Hi all, we have deployed BIG IP 13.1.0 in our customer and everything is working fine exept two things:
The F5 has virtual server in network (let's call this network X) , which acts as forwarding proxy. The problem is that, communication between hosts in network X is very strange. When we ping from some host A to another host B the ping is successful, but the arp table on host A says that MAC address on host B is the F5 ?? F5 only has some address in this network, that's all.
The second problem is that FTP is not working. When clients wants to reach some ftp severs outside the organization is not working. We have virtual servers for ftp, but still we face this problem.. What could be the problem ?

Please try enabling SNAT for above VIP so destinatio can see F5 Floating IP's as a source IP. I hope F5 floating IP's are allowed on destination end firewalls.
G_Georgievv1_36Hmmm I added SNAT but it's still not working . I'm tryng to go to ftp.symantec.com, so i think the destination firewall rules, aren't bothering me

It is better if you create another case for arp or ftp. Otherwise it will be a challenge to track the case

Hi,
For FTP issue just verify SNAT configurations. Can you please provide your virtual server configurations?

Hi, this is the ftp virtual server configuration:
ltm virtual ftp-catch { destination 10.65.4.247:ftp ip-protocol tcp mask 255.255.255.255 profiles { http-explicit { } tcp { } } source 0.0.0.0/0 translate-address enabled translate-port enabled vs-index 14 }
