  • Hi abi1980,

     

    Are you looking to validate that your diagram flow will work? Because to me it will will work without going to into any specific configurations and based on what you have shown in design.

  • hi Bhattman In the current scenario i have default route pointing to my Router for all traffic but for this scenario for my VIP for outgoing traffic i need to route it to my FW IP

     

    How can this be done

     

  • So the traffic needs to be Client--> F5 VIP --> router --> NBFW --> Mail Server?

     

  • This is where the client points to F5 VIP which is has the pool of the SMTP Relay. The relay then forwards it's request to another F5 VIP that has a pool containing the NAT that points to the mail server.
