Thanks for your response!

 

The backend server is on vlan4 which is at a different datacenter, I can't trunk vlan4 to F5, instead I want to use IP from vlan2 in virtual server's snappool to backend servers on vlan4, which doesn't work, as you can see from the tcpdumps in my first post, 2.2.2.2 send Reset to 4.4.4.4.

 

Also I have added a virtual server using same snat address 2.2.2.2, and 4.4.4.4 has no problem to access that virtual server, so seems to me packet originated from F5 has problem to reach servers on vlan that not on F5?

 

Thanks again Lily

    Also, if I try to ping outside host from interface on F5 except vlan1 which has default router configured, ping fails, only ping from vlan1 interface works, the default route is upgrade router IP, listed on "Partition Default Route Domain" on F5, which includes vlan2, wonder why vlan2 traffic won't be able to use this default router to get out ? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! Lily
