NimbostratusProblem NAT
Hi ALL
I'm facing problem the NAT on F5 ( LTM)
My network :
Server-----FW-------- ------Line internet2
F5(LTM) ------line internet 1
50(Users)------FW--------- ------line internet 3
- I haved config Virtual servers to publish some servers to internet
-Default GW Pool
- I have config to users to access the internet
LTM--Virtual servers:
-Destination:0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
-Type: Performance Layer4
-Vlan : internal
-SNAT Pool:automap
But I have problem the users access to internet , it work some times (about 20 min) then so users can not access internet , it times at pc of users can not ping 8.8.8.8 , but on F5 then ping 8.8.8.8 ok and F5 can not NAT source users
so I guess on F5 have problem NAT
Could you PLS help me !
Many thanks

to screen
tcpdump -nni 0.0 host 8.8.8.8 and icmp
to file
tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnn -s0 -w /var/tmp/output.pcap host 8.8.8.8 and icmp
TechgeeegHi Hung,
In you wildcard VS which is the performance layer 4 VS in the Advance config have you selected "for all traffic" instead of "tcp" or "udp" I think you still have it set to TCP or UDP. change it and it should start working perfectly fine. Also for the NAT its not going to work as per your expectations as you have the wild card server. You have to have some iRules and SNAT's & VS pair created to make it work.
It is really strange but NAT the simplest thing in the network world works very differently with F5. They seriously have to look into it.
