destination /Common/188.2.210.21:22
ip-protocol tcp
mask 255.255.255.255
persist {
    /Common/SFT_source_addr {
        default yes
    }
}
pool /Common/SFT_Pool_sftp_test.com
profiles {
    /Common/tcp { }
}
source 0.0.0.0/0

    type automap
}
translate-address enabled
translate-port enabled

}

  • the only one solution is : Disable automap and define F5 self IP as default gateway of your server

     

    As this protocol does not include header like "X-Forwarded-For", there is not solution except preserve source IP.
