NimbostratusVirtual server and http pool not accessible
Dear All,
I am new to F5 and just starting learning this technology. I purchased a training suite and practicing on F5 BIG-IP LTM v11.3 VE. On a VMware workstation, I installed 3 small linux ma...
Hello,
Did you add a snat configuration ? If not, try by adding the automap value to the snat setting on the Virtual Server

Dalmaren_261881Hi Yann, Thanks for your quick response. I am not sure where to activate that. I can see address translation and port translation are active in the virtual server. But I am still following the training and not to the SNAT part yet. Just by looking at the SNAT part now, I do not have any SNAT pool. Do I need a pool to be created. The external interface of the BIG-IP is on the same vmnet with the PC which is representing the public users. Could you please elaborate how I can activate the SNAT. Thank you,- Yann_Desmarest_Hi, You just need to go to your Virtual Server configuration and select the "automap" value in the "Source Address Translation" setting. That's it for snat.
- Dalmaren_261881Wow! Thanks very much Yann. It worked for me now.
Trupti_159633Dear All,
I am facing similar issue, I have configured nodes, pools and Virtual server. Also enabled automap on virtual server. But it is still inaccessible. I am badly stuck to this point.
I have configured Laptop's NIC address as external IP address of LTM and 1 unused IP address from that subnet as destination IP of virtual server.
Please suggest whatI need to do in this case. I am new to F5 and trying to learn by building my own lab with the help of CBTnugget.
Thank you

Can you ping a pool member from the F5's bash cli ? Can you telnet to the pool member's IP address on a specific port ?
- Trupti_159633
Yes I can able to ping all my pool members. Telnet is working fine on port 80. I tried doing it from my office and it is working, i can able to access Virtual server, but now it is not working from home.

first of all please start a new question, sure you both work on a lab but beyond that the question is different and unrelated, so please next time new question.
what is the difference between home and office, same laptop, different network, ...?
- Trupti_159633
I apologies to start my problem in the same question. Yes, I m using same laptop at home and office. But networks are different. In office we are using proxy servers. But at home I am not.
