Wildcard Virtual Server IP Forwarding

Hi - we have an SMTP server that sits off a DMZ vlan off the F5. The D/G for the SMTP server is the real address of the F5. We want to the SMTP server to be able to make SMTP calls to any SMTP server...

So when you create the wildcard forwarder - should it be green?

 

it won't because ip forwarding virtual server does not have pool. it will be green when pool is up.

 

I don't see it exit the box on the other vlan interface that faces the internet firewall.

 

have you configured default route for route domain 1 (0.0.0.0%1/0) on bigip?

nitass - I think that answers my first point. That the wildcard ip forwarding server would be blue in normal state as they can;t have pools associated to them - so the F5 box must understand this and say I will forward the traffic anyway cos it's a wildcard one. Yes the route domain 1 has it's own default route: default-route-rd1 default%1 gw 192.168.120.254%1 static
