  1. If you do not want to use SNAT/Automap, you can use F5 in Routed mode. In this type of architecture, you need to keep default gateway of web-server to F5. So with this, web-server will see request from actual client IP (as per objective of developer).

 

  1. There is one more option i.e. using X-Forward-For setting under http profile. With this, you can use SNAT/Automap on the VS and still F5 sends actual client IP under its header. So under http header, web-server can see the client IP. For this, you need to enable advanced logging at web-server end.

 

Hope it helps you !
