Hi Nitass/Hamish, I attached simple diagram of their set up. Original setup, the core router is the gateway of all the servers and we are using SNAT at VIP to return traffic to F5. The server admin needs to monitor the source ip of the clients connecting to server. We have to eliminate SNAT and make the F5 Self IP as gateway. After changing the gateway of servers to F5 self IP, the servers were not reachable from client but reachable from F5.As per client, need to enable proxy arp in F5 to relay mac-addresses of servers to core router.
