NimbostratusIs it possible to covert (in prod) from "inline" to "one armed" mode?
Is this possible?
What would I have to do on the F5 and the connected switch port to accomplish this?
To explain: I am at a remote site. Our other load-balancers were setup in one arm mode and f...

NimbostratusOne arm mode means that both the F5 virtual servers and pool members are handled through the same vlan, most likely within the same netmask. If you're already configured this way, you probably already have SNAT Automap or SNAT Pool configured on the virtual servers.
The main issues you might face are really not with modifying the F5 configurations, but with the IP scheme and routing for the pool members.
In order to do the basic routing based load balancing setup you'll need to move the servers to the internal vlan (behind he F5s) using the F5 floating IP on the vlan as the pool members' default gateway, or configure SNAT (which you probably already have) to avoid asymetric routing.
