Unable to connect to the remote server
Hello, I use the iRULEs editor to develop iRULEs, via a public NAT to my F5 pair (in private address space) everything seems to work great except if I try to "generate traffic"
I get a "Unable to connect to the remote server"
example "public IP" of my F5 (routed only to my PC)
202.2.2.10
actual "private IP" of my F5 (translated by a CISCO router to the F5)
10.0.7.11
As I said everything works great for developing iRULEs, I just go to 202.2.2.10 ( just like the main GUI for the F5 is accessible from https://202.2.2.10/) and I go to town, but I have no idea how to trigger/use the generate traffic feature, to my iRULEs from the editor - shouldn't it just work since I am logged in via SSH to the F5?
Perhaps I have to configure more then a URI of "/" and a method GET
Any advice would be appreciated. I know there is a "proxy" setting should I put a socks proxy on the F5 itself or on a client that can actually access the F5 (e.g. normal production use). There doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation concerning use of the proxy stuff.
- hooleylistCirrostratusThe iRule editor is most likely using the actual internal VIP address to send test traffic to. You're using a public NAT address to get to a self IP or the management port.
