Hi.

 

You right.

 

Follow this use case:

 

  • client send request to vip.
  • F5 process the request and forward request to backend (snat automap is activate ) with vip IP if it is a cluster or sip IP if standalone.
  • the backend respond to source ip ( f5 snat ip).
  • then F5 respond to client IP.

Let me know if you need more details.

 

Regards
