Have a series 9 BigIP do switching instead of SNAT

Hi,     I've been trying to find a way to get a series 9 (9.4.4) BigIP to do switching instead of nat so that requests to servers come from the real originating IP and not the load balance...

Hi Denny,

 

 

Thanks for the reply - I will test this again in the morning with tcpdumps but just to clarify:

 

 

By turning off snat you mean both on the virtual server and the pool that the virtual server uses correct?

 

I am positive that the servers have the LTM as their default gateway with no other routes they can use to get to the client ip.

 

 

That was my initial guess also, that turning off snat would do what I want and was very confused when it didn't work.
