configure f5 big ip in front of cisco asa

I would create a pool with the nodes (servers) ip's behind the ASA. The ASA is not a load balancer so it won't balance the traffic.

hello thanks for your reply. my configuration is the following : asa inside 10.100.72.4 asa outside 10.100.251.81 asa gateway f5 internal : 10.100.251.85

f5 internal : 10.100.251.85 f5 external : 41.x.x.x f5 gateway : isp

my servers are connected to asa inside : server 1 : 10.100.72.8 server 2 : 10.100.72.10

i have configured NAT and PAT on port 10444 on asa outside so that when i type 10.100.251.81:10444, it redirect me to server 1 (10.100.72.8) when i type 10.100.251.81:10448, it redirect me to server 2 (10.100.72.10)

i need that when my user hit f5 external ip (41.x.x.x) on port 20444 (41.x.x.x:20444) they are redirected to server 1 and when they hit 41.x.x.x:20445 ther redirected to server 2

how can i do that ?

You need to create a load balancing pool with two members. Members have the same node address but different port.

tmsh create ltm pool  members add { 10.100.251.81:10444 10.100.251.81:10448 } monitor tcp_half_open

And the BIG-IP is not redirecting traffic to the pool members it is forwarding the traffic.

thanks for your reply. noted for the BIG IP forwarding. I test it now and give a reply.
