LTM routing question
front end self IP 192.168.80.9 back end self IP 192.168.180.9 (single LTM)
Quick Question on LTM. If I have a request come from 10.2.2.3 and it resolves to a virtual server 192.168.80.80 (Front end) and that VS selects (back end)pool member 192.168.180.82 in a pool I understand that the responding pool member uses its default gateway 192.168.180.1 but how does 192.168.180.9 know to send the request to 192.168.80.9 (front end self IP) for transmission back to 10.2.2.3 via 192.168.80.80? Since the Source address never changed (not using SNAT) is it just an entry on the F5 when it "proxies" the request that remains in the LTM?
Thanks please let me know if I need to clarify more. JUst trying to understand all steps in a request that has both subnets setup on the box.
