Hi, Following above suggestions, I have applied these changes:

 

  • WebServer1 is on 10.10.10.56 listening on https 9343
  • WebServer1 is on 10.10.10.58 listening on https 9343

On linux system hosting the F5 BIG IP, I configured : - a network interface with ip 10.10.10.54 communicating with 10.10.10.56 and 10.10.10.58; - F5 management interface is on IP 1.1.1.54; - Defined Virtual Server , with Destination address 9.A.B.54 , port 443 - https;

 

with Source addresses 0.0.0.0/0, with Client and Server SSL profiles;

 

with node members associated to the web servers 10.10.10.56 and 10.10.10.56 (up and running OK);

 

But if I launch from external client browser : it opens the F5 Management Interface instead of redirect to one of web servers

 

I see only for less than 1 second a string "redirect" in the middle of browser page, but it returns to the F5 management interface

I followed this configuration got in a demo video of F5 , and I applied the ip in green, red and blue. I would not hide things . Actually A is 49 and B is 35 . Then consider the network 9.49.35.x
