Hello again guys, I'm involved in a specific configuration these days. We have a simple virtual server configured in TCP mode that dismounts into a web service. So far, there was no specific require...
Hi Martin182,
There are two possibilities to solve this:
1. Configure the virtual server as standard and apply an http profile with x-forwarder-for " the most simple".
2. Configure the F5 as a router with a couple of Virtual Servers 0.0.0.0/0 for TCP and UDP and make the Self-IP in the server's network of the F5, the default gateway for servers and avoid snat, it allows servers to reach outside through the F5.
Hope it works.
