Unable to communicate with Email Server from behind F5 BIGIP LTM v10

OK.

 

 

By non-load balanced traffic I mean anything where you want to be routed directly across the LTM. Such as your SMTP traffic. As the LTM isn't a router, in order to 'route' traffic you need to do it with a (Usually network) virtual server. The easiest way is one on port 0 (All ports), for all protocols, of type forwarding (ip).

 

 

As long as the destination IP of the packet matches the network VS IP/mask it'll be forwarded based on the TMM routing table (i.e. to defined VLAN's with selfIP addresses).

 

 

You can get more complicated from that to enforce fire walling etc. But a single VS on 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 and port 0 would doit.
