CirrostratusHow to check if XFF is working
Anyone I am looking for a way to check if XFF is working in bigip aside from checking it to Wireshark. Server team keep on claiming that they still see the bigip SNAT IP on their end.
Thank you ...

AltocumulusThe pool member will still see the SNAT IP as the source IP. However, with XFF enabled the http request header will have the real client ip included as an additional field.
Aside from checking the http profile/iRule that you've configured you could capture the server side request to confirm that the field is getting inserted but that would obviously require the use of tcpdump/wireshark.

Cirrostratus@Ryan i see, so I think all i can do is to check if they configured they server correctly.
