How to access the real server(node)?pls help me

hello,everyone,

 

I have a problem confuse me. I have configured the f5 device correctly and the virtual servers work as well as which was supposed to be..

 

Now, I want access the real server (in f5 configuration that is called as node) from outside. I just can ping the real server(SNAT has been configured) but I cant login the server or access other service. I don’t know why this happened.

 

For example:

 

Two real server :10.18.3.1 and 10.18.3.2

 

And configure the virtual server as 10.18.3.3.

 

All those three device are connecting to a switch and the switch access a router, on the other side of the router, there will be my client test laptop computer. Like following diagram

 

|--F5(virtualServer)10.18.3.3

 

Realserver(node)10.18.3.1--| |

 

Realserver(node)10.18.3.2--|-—Switch

 

|

 

|10.18.3.62

 

Router-----------------laptop computer

 

10.18.2.62 10.18.2.25

 

 

 

In the above scenario 10.18.2.25 can access the vip 10.18.3.3 and can’t access 10.18.3.1 directly. I don’t know why .

 

Could someone please tell me how to configure the F5-BIGIP-LTM device so that I can access the virtual ip service and the real server service meantime.

 

Thanks a lot!
