Jun 13, 2011BigIP Remove the source address of host
Hi,
I have problem with F5 BigIp, i have created vip ip address (192.168.1.3) for two nodes (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2)
any client ( example 10.1.1.1) access the virtual ip...

Jun 13, 2011SNAT is literally Source-NAT. Basically its telling the VS to act as a proxy... So the backend (Poolmembers) see the IP connection coming from one of the BigIP's addresses (Automap will use the floating self-ip of the interface that routes to the poolmembers).
To have the client IP preserved, disable SNAT, enable NAT (The F5 then NAT's the proxied connection back to the address and port of the client). The poolmembers then need to use the F5 (SelfIP) as the default gateway back to the client.
