Asymmetric connections: allow both direct access to the real server and the VIP without NAT

Hi Aaron, thanks for the reply. There won't be any static routes in the real servers, they will always use their default gateway when responding to the client. This is, the client request would be going directly to the real servers (not through the LTM) and the server response would go through the LTM back to the client.

 

 

Is this scenario also called npath?

 

 

Someone told us this could be done with the wildcard vserver and the fastL4 profile like you said, but I still don't have it quite clear. I created the wildcard vserver (with no pools assigned to it), then I created a fastL4 profile with the loose initiation and close options and then applied the profile to the vserver. Do I need to do anything else? Is it necessary to modify something in the pools that are used for the actual load balanced traffic like in Cisco?

 

 

I'm intending to test this tomorrow when I have access to the device.

 

Thanks for your help.
