CirrusWhat's the difference "Transparent" and "Translucent"
What is the difference "Transparent" and "Translucent" that can be configured in VLAN Group?
just simply.
A device MAC --> 11:22:33:44:55:66
BIGIP MAC --> AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
Transparent : 11:22:33:44:55:66 -> BIGIP -> 11:22:33:44:55:66
Translucent : 11:22:33:44:55:66 -> BIGIP -> AA:BB:CC:44:55:66

Hi dum0785,
- Translucent :
Layer 2 forwarding with a locally-unique bit, toggled in ARP response across VLANs. This is the default setting.
- Transparent :
Layer 2 forwarding with the original MAC address of the remote system preserved across VLANs.
