Capturing source IP addresses for VIP

Is it possible if we can capture all the source IP that are hitting our VIPs.

    Yeah, You can capture client IP address via iRule or X-Forwarded-For.

    For more information go through below F5 Article.

    Option 1: X-Forwarded-For HTTP header K4816

    Option 2: iRule

        when HTTP_REQUEST {
        log local0. "clientIP:[IP::client_addr] accessed [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
      }

    Hope your issue will be solved..

HI,

 

Yes it is possible to capture the soruce Ip addresses hitting the vip using irule, in case if you want to see it on the backend server (running http), you can try enabling XFF (X-Forwarded-For) option to see the cient IP in headers at server side (webserver.)
