AltocumulusIPv6 Virtual Server to IPv4 pools translation
Hi all,
we are going to configure below scenario on BIG-IP AWAF VE:
Source (client from IPv6) --> Virtual Server (IPv6) --> Pool (servers in IPv4)
As per below ref article BIG-IP will automatically translate as below:
Connections to an IPv6 virtual server that are forwarded to an IPv4 destination will be translated to the IPv4 self IP address of the destination VLAN.
Ref Article: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K3326
I want the actual source IP inforamtion on physical server, what is the solution to achive it. please let me know if X-Forwarding For will solve my issue ?
Hi,
Yes, the XFF will include the IPv6 IP Address.
Cheers,
Kees

Asim_IIPLIf the source ip is ipv6 , would Virtual server would have to be IPV6 ? or IpV4 Virtual Server would work?
Yes
Source (client from IPv6) --> Virtual Server (IPv6) --> Pool (servers in IPv4)
Source (client from IPv4) --> Virtual Server (IPv4) --> Pool (servers in IPv4)
