Mac-address Field

Depends with protocol you want to add the information. HTTP is easy, as you can add custom headers like is common done to add the source IP.

 

HTTP::header insert X-Forwarded-For [IP::remote_addr]

For UDP or TCP read this question/answers:

this is for the remote ip address. Can we add the remote mac-address field in the F5 header?

What do you mean by F5 header?

Depending on network design may be that F5 can't know the remote MAC ADDRESS, because MAC is related to LAYER 2. ES: If the F5 and remote host are on different VLANS, F5 can't know remote MAC address. Moreover i guess that don't exist a iRule command to catch remote MAC ADDRESS, so you would create a separate script (es iCall script) to enetually catch this information. I guess is a great effort.

You can insert the mac address of 'last-hop' and 'next-hop' using the LINK command.
