IP forwarding

Hi Group,

 

we are migrating from PA address space to our own PI address space. Cooperation partners using domains like this: my.company.partner.com which point to our main IP address i.e 1.1.1.1, because I do not own the domain I can't change the IP by my own. Now we are migrating from 1.1.1.1 to lets assume 2.2.2.2 located on another HA pair of BigIPs.

 

The URL have to be the same because our application use it to decide which content have to be delivered.

 

How can I redirect / forward traffic for domain my.company.partner.com which points to 1.1.1.1 on bigip pair 1 to 2.2.2.2 on bigip pair 2 without changing the URL?

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Best

  • do you have floating selfip on *every* vlan?

     

     

    the tcpdump shows bigip sends traffic out on vlan 4094 which i guess it is external vlan. so, i think the problem is not wrong *interface* but wrong *snat ip address*. can you try to use snatpool instead of snat automap (under virtual server configuration)?

    Snatpool, bingo. You saved me a lot of work, thank you very much!

     

     

    snatpool mysnat {

     

    members $self_ip_from_network_1.1.1.0/24

     

    }

     

    virtual myvirt {

     

    snatpool mysnat

     

    destination 1.1.1.1:http

     

    ip protocol tcp

     

    rules myrule

     

    }

     

    rule myrule {

     

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

     

    node 2.2.2.2 80

     

    }

     

    }

     

     

    Best
