    You may need to run packet captures at this point to determine why the page isn't loading:

     

    tcpdump -nni 0.0:n -s0 host 2001:b3e:45f1:6121::7 (client side)

     

    tcpdump -nni 0.0:n -s0 host 192.168.1.7 (server side)

     

    You can have pool members or virtual servers specifying all ports, but your pool member can't be monitored on all ports. The monitor must be specific to a certain protocol/port. If this is an HTTP connection only, then it's best to have your pool member configured with port 80.

Thank you for your example, I will suggest it to my manager.

 

I have tried the SNAT Automap without any luck. I think I am getting confused with Pools and SNAT Pools. In your example, you don't need any SNATs?

 

Is there a way to test if the translation has been made? Or any way to test this in any way. And from the IPv6 client, when performing tests, I am trying to reach the network advertised by the virtual server, correct ?

 

Thank you for all your help so far.
