AltocumulusPort Forwarding from VS to Pool
We have this resolved. Initially it was necessary to add the new vlans to the port channels used for the f5 to communicate with the balance of the application infrastructure. Once this was accomplished and irule to limit the VS to the specific ports required for application delivery was applied and finally to insure IP persistence through the entire data flow for the application the default gateway for the application servers had to be set to the float ip for the VLAN on the application servers, routing return traffic back through the BigIP.
AltocumulusThe scenario is:
Client IP addresses are used by the back end application as a part of their authentication, which means that the client IP address will need to be forwarded through the virtual server to the pool.
An ASA 5585 NAT is passing the client IP addresses into the Virtual server.
The application will need to answer the client on the ports mentioned. I do not have SNAT configured yet, this is a new process for me, and I am looking for the most effective method to achieve the end goal.
