Basic Routing of traffic through F5 in any intranet

I have an application deployed on X.X.6.10 server with access URL "http://X.X.6.10:1111/App/" and F5 installed on X.X.6.11 virtual Server and both IPs are on same subnet 255.255.255.0

 

I want to know how to route the HTTP traffic from web server to F5 internally. Is it required any network level changes or routing can be done via F5 console.

 

Please suggest any solution....

    Might be worth a read of - https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/difference-between-one-arm-and-routed-deployment-of-f5

     

    The problem you'll have is that the DFGW for your servers will likely NOT be the F5 - So you'll have to SNAT the traffic. (Which might cause you other problems, depending on your application.

      There's a little bit of reading to do to explain the choices we make. I don't know how knowledgeable you are on routing, but it might be worth understanding SNAT. There's a great free course on F5 university that might help you understand the basics.
