F5 Virtual Appliance

Yes internal is 1.1 and external is 1.2. I let mine choose it's own VLAN Tag ID on both internal and external. I used 2 different private address ranges for both internal and external. I created my virtual server to be on port 80 with an IP address that was the IP address I setup as the external address that I noted down and created my pool (with a http monitor) and pool members to also be on port 80 with Load Balancing Method set just to round robin at the moment. I made sure IIS was installed on my pool members and the health monitors showed all green on the pool members.

 

 

I then tried to connect to the web address the one I noted down from a machine on the same subnet as my external range and it connected fine (I am having a bit of trouble however with it actually round robining properly) but if I disable a node then I see it going to the other web server (I created an index.html page for each server with just some text to destinguish where the content is coming from)

 

 

Even though it says that a redundant setup configuration is not supported I think I have managed to get it going nicely but need to test it a bit more. I hope F5 have longer than 90 day licences for test environments.
