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 again,

 

 

Well I got it working with snat off but the problem now is how do you get the BigIP to act as a gateway if you don't define a default snat for the external vlan? Because right now unless there's a snat defined and bound to the external vlan then the clients which have the BigIP as their default gateway don't get internet access, ie they don't get a response back from any destination IP routed through the BigIP.

 

 

Any ideas?
