NimbostratusF5 BIG-IP ASM Virtual Server
Hi,
I am newbie in F5. One of my customer has a web server. They want to protect their web server using F5 BIG-IP ASM. Can the virtual server IP address on F5 BIG-IP same with web server IP address ?
Thanks
Regards, Hindra

no, the f5 is a full proxy. The traffic flow would be client -> vip -> ASM -> self/floating ip f5 -> server and vice versa.

Hi Hindra,
Create a VIP with IP address x.x.x.x and configure the webserver y.y.y.y as the pool member. Create an ASM policy and associate with the VIP created.

Yes, this is feasible but you should consider the limitation of such implementation before moving forward :
