IPv6 translation to v4

So we are in the process of doing a POC in our labs using Big-IP. Currently we have LTM and ASM on 2 seperate hardware devices. Right now I have an ASM setup with a v6 Virtual Server, that has SNATi...

Guys,

 

Thanks for the tips, we had already figured out that ASM does not support IPv6 as anytime we added it to a VS the traffic would just die.

 

 

Yes we were trying to set a v6 VS with SNATing and then add a pool with a v4 VS inside it but it is not working. As I know see from Michael's post it apparently won't work. I will try using an iRule to direct the traffic.

 

 

One last part that I was questioning, is that when we were doing a TCPDump on port 80 which is the port both the v4 and v6 VS are setup on, we would see the traffic hitting the v6 server but never the v4. Is that because of the fact that it won't work inside the pool, when I setup the iRule should I expect to see the traffic in tcpdump? Thanks for the help so far.
