NimbostratusCan't access virtual server IP from browser , however I can ping and telnet on port 80
Hi All,
I am new to f5, I am watching CBT nuggets ( Kieth) and build a topology using f5 VM. I have created 3 nodes with an IP 10.2.0.128,10.2.0.129 & 10.2.0.130(internal network) and mapped the...
Usually SNAT related,
Use a SNATPool or Snat Automap....

Nimbostratushi Yasir, i would like to remind you to check the default gateway on your web servers. make sure those are set correctly.

Default gateway should have no bearing if we are using SNAT.
IF:
1) Client can connect to virtual server
2) F5 can connect to back-end hosts.
We should only need correct SNAT, and we'll be happy.
Some caveats for condition 2:
Remember that when you telnet / curl from the LTM command line, it will ALWAYS use non-floating IP address to get to the back-ends.
When you use a client machine, and hit the virtual server with SNAT automap, it will ALWAYS try to use the floating ip address to it's internal VLAN (if assigned), and THEN non-floating.
ALL of the above are predicated on the premise that NONE of the traffic is trying to go / get to / from the management interface, in which case all bets are off and reality is guaranteed to get distorted.
DO NOT use the management IP / interface for anything besides management. It will not work... you will make yourself unhappy.

Hi Yasir
You can try this command to see if your client ip is hitting snat and/or vip.
Tmsh show sys coonection | grep [client ip]
The snat ip wud generally be on 2nd column & vip be on 3rd or 4th column.
Let us know the result.
