Create a virtual server on internal vlan

Hello,

 

Is it possible to create a virtual server with a destination ip address on the internal VLAN instead of the external VLAN ?

 

On the documentation, I can see the following comment for the "Destination Address" field :

Note: The IP address for this field needs to be on the same subnet as the external self-IP address.

https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-basics-11-6-0/2.html

 

I'd need to create some VS on the internal VLAN, so I'm wondering if it's technally possilbe.

 

Exemple :

Internal VLAN 20 - Internal Self IP 10.10.20.100 /24

External VLAN 10 - External Self IP 10.10.10.100 /24

 

I need to create the VS 10.10.20.110. The source servers and the backend servers are on the same VLAN.

Source Server 10.10.20.200 > F5 Big-IP VS On internal VLAN 10.10.20.110 > Backend Servers 10.10.20.250 and 10.10.20.251

 

Thank you.

 

Kind regards,

Dazni

 

  • Hi Dazni,

     

    You can use the same subnet as pool members for virtual IP.

    "Source Address Translation" should be active on virtual server.
