Hello,

 

It depends on the configuration of your Virtual Servers, specifically the SNAT feature. If enabled on VSs, the F5 will replace the client IP address by it's own IP addr. This is a very common configuration (to avoid asymetric routing).

 

So first you will need to check with the Load Balancer team how it is configured, depending on that you will know if you need to configure the ACL or not

 

Hope it helps,

 

Regards
