Hello,

 

 

Can you provide more detail on you configuration and the issue(s)?

 

 

Have you configured the BIG-IP to pass traffic from servers behind it to the SQL server using a SNAT or virtual server? Did you previously enable IP forwarding to do this in 4.x?

 

 

Are the connections always failing immediately? Do they fail some times but work other times? Do they get timed out after a specific number of seconds?

 

 

Do you see any errors on the client or the SQL server?
