AltostratusLoad Balancer Traffic Design without using Self IP
Hi everyone
I would like to know if anyone has used a setup that has one large subnet as an outside Vlan (for service VIP's) and it routes to all the different server vlans. Typically, we setup ...
I have this type of setup where there is no self-ip on the LTM and it works perfectly fine. Reason - All the IP addresses (VIP, Pool members) are advertised in the same routed protocol. I have not come through any issue with this design. It's configured in one arm mode and also uses snat pool.But on F5, you will have to set a default route for reverse traffic.

chungyu_16122Hi
Thanks for the response, are your servers pointing to the router as the default gateway and when the servers respond, is the traffic returning tot he the snat pool address?

The servers are all part of the L3 vlan and they have the corresponding default gateway. The snat pool comes in picture for the incoming traffic and not the outgoing traffic.
