Apr 16, 2013Hi,
Thank you again for helping.
I've wireshark'd the backend server and looking at the received IP packet when the SIP INIVTE is received (over TCP), all I see is that either:
- the source address is the IP address of F5's service interface and the destination address is that of F5's virtual IP
- ...or, the source address is the client's IP address and the destination address is that of F5's virtual IP
If as you say, address translation is occuring, is there a way for me to control the address translation of the destination address, such that when the IP packet is received at the back end server, its :
- source address is the client's IP address and
- the destination address is that of the pool's node (back end server's).
It feels like this is a relatively straightforward task, but being new to F5, I'm starting to struggle.
