WebServer behind F5 LTM VE does not have internet access
Here are some things that are generally required to be able to route outbound from behind an LTM:
-
The web servers must be configured to use the LTM's internal self-IP as their default gateway. You've done this.
-
There must be a virtual server on the inside of the LTM to listen for this traffic. The typical configuration is to use a forwarding virtual server with a wildcard IP, mask, and port.
Ex. 0.0.0.0/0:0 -
The LTM must have a route out to the world. Unlike a tradition virtual server that uses a pool, a forwarding virtual server relies on defined routes to pass traffic.
-
Depending on you configuration, you may also need a SNAT profile applied to the VIP. If the external VLAN's self-IP is a routable Internet address, then you should apply a SNAT. Otherwise the traffic will source from the internal subnet. If your LTM sits behind a NAT (perhaps a NATting firewall), and your external subnet is not Internal routable, then you probably do not need SNAT (but it rarely ever hurts).
