Can use Virtual Wire on BIG-IP LTM i2600?

Hi, We introduce i2600 this time. I want to be transparent in multiple VLANs on LTM i2600. Example. [VLAN10, 20] -> BIG-IP VS -> [VLAN10, 20] Can we use Virtual Wire on BIG-IP LTM i26...

Hello.

These are the supported platforms ->

https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-virtual-wire-layer2-transparency-13-1-0/2.html

I think there is some mistake regarding i12600, it should say i2600 instead (because this model doesn't appear on the product datasheet)

I also pass you an implementation guide

KR,

Dario.

ummm, I can not find "i2600" on page 9 of its URL....
Although there is "i12600".

  I did some correction on my previous comment.

  Sorry for the confusion, but it seems that i12600 is a new product not released yet
  
  Your device has this hardware code
  i2600 / i2800 - C117
  
  And D117 is not still on the list

  Final conclusion:
  It's not supported.

  BTW, I think you have been asking for a similar question in another topic...
  
  As far as I know your unique alternative is VLAN Group transparent (to keep your source MAC address).
  
  You have a perfect explanation about behaviour and implementation here
  https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-routing-administration-13-1-0/5.html
  
  And our colleague SWJO has already given you some guidelines

  Hope this helps.
