unresponsive virtual server

hello everyone,

in F5 , i've successfully setup a big ip appliance on vmware, and i've created a virtual server and linked it to a pool , it's all good until i tried to test it , i added an ubuntu server as a backend server , gave it the appropriate address (when i ping it from the big ip, it responds ), put it in my internal vlan, and put a file "index.html" in my var folder, but it doesn't respond at all when i try to access it ,

i'm new to this , please help

      Yes , but i'm using f5 Big-IP , and ive figured out that , in addition to adding the virtual image to the internal Vlan in vmware , i also need to change ubuntu server's interface's IP address to the node's address , and I need to add apache2 to Ubuntu server and add an HTML file in /var/www .I don't know if I'm wrong , but this is what I figured out

  • Hello,

    are the virtual server and the ubuntu server on the same subnet?

    If yes, you need to set up the SNAT AutoMap on the virtual server.

  • Hello, well no, they're not , there's a big IP between them , the virtual server is in the external subnet , whereas the ubuntu server is on the internal, but the problem is Solved , all I had to do is to find the right index.HTML file and I had to connect my Ubuntu server in VMware to the appropriate vlan
