virtual server setup

How are you associating the pool to the Virtual Server (iRule or default pool)?

What is the topology? Is the pool member/s on a isolated subnet behind the LTM? Could there be asymmetric routing, that is being blocked by a firewall?

can you post the virtual server and pool configuration?

 tmsh list ltm virtual (name)
 tmsh list ltm pool (name)

[root@bip-bxb-internal2:Standby] config tmsh list ltm virtual vs_sbmorchestration_80 ltm virtual vs_sbmorchestration_80 { destination 172.24.157.73:http ip-protocol tcp mask 255.255.255.255 persist { source_addr { default yes } } pool pl_sbmorchestration_80 profiles { http { } tcp { } } } [root@bip-bxb-internal2:Standby] config tmsh list ltm virtual vs_sbmorchestration_8085 ltm virtual vs_sbmorchestration_8085 { destination 172.24.157.73:8085 ip-protocol tcp mask 255.255.255.255 persist { source_addr { default yes } } pool pl_sbmorchestration_8085 profiles { tcp { } } } [root@bip-bxb-internal2:Standby] config tmsh list ltm pool pl_sbmorchestration_80 ltm pool pl_sbmorchestration_80 { members { 172.22.240.23:http { session monitor-enabled } 172.24.1.27:http { session monitor-enabled } } monitor http } [root@bip-bxb-internal2:Standby] config tmsh list ltm pool pl_sbmorchestration_8085 ltm pool pl_sbmorchestration_8085 { members { 172.22.240.23:8085 { session monitor-enabled } 172.24.1.27:8085 { session monitor-enabled } } monitor http_8085 }

does bigip have route to pool members (172.22.240.23 and 172.24.1.27)?

is the pool members' default gateway bigip? if not, can you try snat automap setting under virtual server configuration?

by the way, why telnet gets connected is how full proxy architecture works.

Hi Nitass, Thanks a bunch.. The Snat automap did it.
