NimbostratusF5 Bridge design
Hi,
I need to configure F5 Bridge mode, but I'm very confused.
Let's suppose we have this design :
POOL_SERVERS 10.10.10.99 -------- F5 VIP 10.10.10.100 -------- ROUTER GATEWAY 10.10....

NimbostratusI also can read : Transparent: Specifies that the system uses Layer 2 forwarding with the MAC address of the remote system preserved. Translucent: Specifies that the system uses Layer 2 forwarding with the locally-unique bit set. Opaque: Specifies that the system uses proxy ARP with Layer 3 forwarding.
For me, for the F5 to have a VIP (VS), we need to configure the Opaque mode, how can other modes work if there is no proxy ARP ?
How could we decide which one to choose (Transparent, Translucent, Opaque) ?
