AltostratusCheckpoint IPSec Error
Hello friends,
I just deployed F5 to load balance incoming IPSec traffic which belongs to a tunnel between two Checkpoint devices.
By issuing a capture in the virtual server of the F5, I go...
IPSec traffic doesn't play well with load balancing, or address translation of any kind. I don't think this is a wise approach.
In any case, if you are not load balancing, but merely using the BIGIP as a NAT device in-between, then you should be able to configure NAT traversal for your IPSec tunnel. YOu will need to read the documentation of the communicating peers to find out how to do that. Then you will need to open the necessary ports on the BIGIP.
