Hi,

I am setting up a Lab Environment in VMWare at the moment. I have 3 servers on the internal vlan which I can ping and telnet to port 80 from the BIG-IP CLI and from my physical machine. These are in a pool and associated with a virtual server.

I can also PING the VIP I have setup from the BIG-IP CLI and from my physical machine. The issue that I am having is that I cannot load the VIP in a browser. If I try telnet VIP PORT, I connect however when I try to get the page with GET / HTTP/1.1 the connection is closed with the message “Connection Closed by Foreign Host”.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

SOLVED: Once I added a floating IP all was sorted. I read many similar posts on Dev Central and all mentioned SNAT Automap. This required a floating IP. I setup the floating IP prior to trying the automap SNAT and it worked. For everyone that suggested the Automap SNAT on other posts - You have helped me so much. Thank you!
