connectivity test

I would like to check the access to the backend servers on a particular port from SNAT IP as source.

 

Do we have any telnet option available with F5?

    You can use "nc" with the flag "-s", or "curl" with the flag "--interface".

  • i do some test with nc and the flag -s , it's doesn't work 😑 (nc: bind failed: Cannot assign requested address)

    the SNAT IP is unknowned to linux system.

      You can specify the IP address of the interface representing the egress VLAN of the SNAT addresses, for the purpose of checking connectivity to the back-end application servers.
