Jan 26, 2009UDP & client IP
I have a one-arm installation of the Big-IP, the client needs to pass UDP traffic via the Big-IP to a virtual service.
How can I preserve the client IP in the UDP traffic for the service to recognise the IP address that it comes from? The clients are PCs on the enterprise network.
