Basic Setup of F5
Hi,
I want to setup a new F5 box in my network. Before, i do that i want to understand how it can actually be configured in Routed and Bridge mode.
I would really appreciate if som...
nitass,
What is the bigip address in the above config? Is it the self IP of the internal VLAN, 1.1.1.1, and will this also be the default gwy of all servers sitting on the internal vlan?
When the external incoming traffic frome hits the virtual server on, 3.3.3.3:80, while trying to load balance the incoming traffic to the servers in the pool, bigip would change the source ip of the incoming packet to that of its own IP and change the destn ip from VIP,3.3.3.3, to one of the servers in the pool, based on the load balancing method, .....Right?
And when servers reply, they would reply to the source IP in the paket as the destn IP, which is the BIGIP IP, and after bigip receives the reply from the server, it would restore the packet source ip to VIP, 3.3.3.3 and destn ip to, actual source IP, right?
bigip would take of routing between the VIP and the internal VLAN range, right?
