Without disabling SNAT/ Automap,The pool member needs to know the original client address. How can we achieve it? Is there any policy we can apply on the VIP

Configuring the F5 to insert into the TCP header of a connection can be a complicated implementation. So better way is to change the configuration where you can easily achieve the requirement. 

 

  1. Have HTTP profile configured and enable XFF
  2. Disable SNAT on the vServer and set gateways of backend servers to F5.

 

Hope it helps!
