Pass orignal IP though F5?

Hello is it possible to pass the IP of the original request through the f5?

 

We have a back end application that captures the remote IP of the client user for tracking,logging,debug and authentication in a couple of cases.

 

After setting up the site to go through the F5 I'm seeing the F5 Self IP for every user.

    You probably have SNAT enabled and hence seeing Self IP. You can enable "Insert X-Forwarded-For" header in the HTTP profile utilized by the VS. SOL4816
