NimbostratusBig-IP LTM VE load balance configuration
Hi Everyone,
I've setup a LTM VE on my VMware Workstation. I got 2 Windows webservers and 2 Windows VM Clients. Below is my setup on LTM VE GUI:
-
Network: Interface 1.1 (untagged)-> Internal: 10.1.3.20/24. Floating IP is 10.1.3.30. Interface 1.2 (untagged)-> External: 10.100.1.20/24. Floating IP is 10.100.1.30.

Local Traffic: Nodes: Wins2016-01: 10.1.3.40. Wins2016-02: 10.1.3.41. Pool: F5_Webservers (Green). Round Robin. Members: Wins2016-01 and Wins2016-02. Virtual Servers: Windows2016 (Green). Source address: 0.0.0.0/0 Destination address/mask: 10.100.1.50 Service port 80 Default Pool: F5_Webservers
From the Client PC (10.100.1.41) can ping both Webservers 'Wins2016-01' and 'Wins2016-02', I'm also able to ping 10.100.1.50 but can't browse the 10.100.1.50 from IE explorer. Any ideas what I missed here? I really appreciate it! Thanks.
Hi Txn
The best place to start from my point of view is the is the vlab package it contains lot of hands on labs you can do that covers a vast majority of the f5 ltm features.
You can find the vlab package on the f5 downloads site.

Can you ping the virtual server from the client by default the virtual server will respond to ICMP ?
Is the internal vlan self ip address/floating the default gateway for the servers ? if no configure auto map on the virtual server and then test
txn_94940Yes, I can ping the virtual server (10.100.1.50) from my Client(10.100.1.41). Yes, by default virtual server is responding to ICMP.
No, the webservers are using their network default gateway (10.1.3.1). How do I can configure auto map on the virtual server and test? Sorry for the newbie questions and please bare with me.

Thanks so much to both Kevin and Shiran. After changed to 'Auto Map', it works now.
Last question, are there any examples or practice labs out there that I can play with the F5 LTM VE to learn more about F5 LTM? I've also purchased a license for LTM VE. Thanks again!
