F5 Link Controller Outbound Load Balancing

I am a new user of F5, and DevCentral.Earlier, was having problem with management port. The issue is fixed.

 

Kindly advise if the following is post on wrong section

 

 

 

Currently, I am working on configure F5 1500 Link Controller, BIG-IP 9.3.1 as a simple outbound loand balancer.

 

 

Following are configured.

 

 

1. Management IP - 172.168.1.22/16

 

2. Self IP (internal) - 10.160.1.17/28(vlan 4094, untagged at int 1.1) - allowed default

 

3. Self IP (external) - 10.160.1.5/29 (vlan 4093, untagged at int 1.3) - allowed default

 

4. Pool (default_gateway_poll) - 10.160.1.1/29 (router1 int 0/0)

 

- 10.160.1.2/29 (router2 int 0/1)

 

Configured with RR

 

 

 

Physical connection is the following.

 

 

Single L2 switch (no vlan)

 

 

connected with the following

 

 

F5 Int 1.1

 

F5 Int 1.3

 

router1 int 0/0 (10.160.1.1/29)

 

router2 int 0/0 (10.160.1.2/29)

 

laptop (internal network, 10.160.1.22/28 g/w 10.160.1.17/28 - F5 self IP internal)

 

 

The following is already achieved.

 

 

1. The gateway pool is active (default_gateway_pool up)

 

2. Self IP internal is active (able to ping from laptop)

 

3. Configured Wildcard (0.0.0.0:0), associate to default_gateway_pool)

 

4. Configured SNAT using Automap (but not sure how to associate it)

 

 

Currently, I can't ping to Self IP external. (time out) and also all my default_gateway_pool IP from my laptop.

 

 

Seems that F5 is connected to the external, and internal.

 

But is not interconnecting between internal and external

 

 

May I know what is the proper way to configure the mentioned?

 

Any configuration guide/walkthrough that would be helpful for a complete newbies?
