Hi all. I'm new to load balancers and F5. In preparation for arrival of F5 hardware, I've been working with F5 evaluation licenses (usually, the 45-day licenses provided by F5 Sales staff).

NimbostratusHave you enabled Source Address Translation: Automap on the Virtual Server? (It may show as SNAT in some versions).
You can also check the Virtual Server and Pool statistics to see if traffic is going in and out. You can find those on:
Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > Statistics
Local Traffic > Pools > Statistics
You can also run a tcpdump from the bash command line, for example:
tcpdump -nni 0.0which will show you the traffic that's going through the traffic interfaces.
Other examples:
tcpdump -nni vlan_nametcpdump -nni 0.0 host 192.168.x.xYou can see more examples in SOL411

NimbostratusThanks for the suggestions.
The Auto Map, which I believe shouldn't be needed here, when enabled, resulted in the functionality I was expecting. I'll have to research further to see why it may be required. From my discussions with the technical F5 sales team as well as my own testing and research up until now, led me to believe that "auto map" was not required in this scenario.
