Pool Members communication with B-party via F5 VIP

Dear All,

In general, the B-Party servers requesting data and F5 sending these requests to VIP pool members.

 But in my case, we want VIP pool members to be able to send requests to B-party servers via VIP.

In this case all communications between VIP Pool members and B-party must be via VIP.

How to configure that the Pool members can send requests via VIP to B-Party nodes and B-Party response to VIP.

I will really appreciate your support and help in regard.

 

Thanks,

Rahmanullah

  • Dear Robinhood,

    much appreciate your support and giving time to my issue.

    I've added both our servers and B-Party server ip under New Pool, create new VIP and create SNAT(Translate address set to the VIP(there is no source addresses option) as well. but the issue's We've Site to Site VPN with B-Party which is on public ip so we can't reach the B-Party server ip. Will this solution still work?

    Please have the scenario we want.

     

  • Sure, I will create a new virtual server ip but do I need to put both our servers+B-party servers ips under new Pool and set Default Pool to new virtual server ip.

     

    If you don't mind and have time to discuss it on skype. it. I may not be able to convey my message correctly here.

  • Really appreciate your response.

    You mean I should bring the B-Party servers + our servers Ips under same Pool and create VIP?

    Example:

    Our servers: 192.168.20.100, 192.168.20.101,192.168.20.102, 192.168.20.103

    B-Party Server: 10.10.20.100

    New Pool Members: 192.168.20.100, 192.168.20.101,192.168.20.102, 192.168.20.103, 10.10.20.100

    VIP: 192.168.10.200

     

    If this is the configuration what will happen if B-Party send request via same VIP won't it hit the B-party server as pool member. because I will configure Round Robin? Both sides communication must be done via same VIP.

    Our Servers<====> F5-VIP<====>B-Party 

     

     

    Sorry for taking your time...

  • create a new pool with B-party servers as the pool member,
    then create a virtual server and assign the new pool to the new virtual server.
