Nexthop

Hi,

 

I am trying to configure the nexthop global cmd via an iRule inorder to send traffic to a particular gateway depending upon which vlan it hits.

 

In a simple vm lab I have one vlan 'Prod' with a server node of 10.20.0.111. The virtual server is addressed as 10.20.0.250. I have removed the default route on the Ltm and configured the global nexthop irule and applied it to the VIP. What seems to happen when i attempt to pass traffic is that the VIP holds on to the traffic. For eg, for an FTP I get a connected to 'vip ip'

 

 

(I have tried using the mac address and ip address of the destination server with the same results.

 

 

irule

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

nexthop Prod 00:0C:29:16:04:7B

 

}

 

 

or

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

nexthop Prod 10.20.0.111

 

}
