Iquery connection with translation address

Hi All,

I need some help to understand the iquery connection to translation address . For example 

Address : 1.1.1.1

Transalation address 2.2.2.2

F5 will initiate the traffic to 1.1.1.1 or 2.2.2.2 , As my understanding F5 device initiate the traffic to 1.1.1.1 to establish the iquery.

But on the device i could see F5 initiate the traffic to translation address.

is there any document to refer which destination iquery mesh will connect when translation address.

  • Your understanding is correct. This behavior is documented here: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K14707

    Did you run the bigip_add command after configuring the BIG-IP as a server object? That is required for iQuery to behave properly. What version of TMOS are you running?
