Is a Dedicated Interface, VLAN, and Self IP Required for a VIP in an F5 Configuration?
Hi All, We have a Red Hat Satellite server (repository), and the client servers need to connect to it via the VIP. The pool members are the Satellite Capsule servers. The Capsule servers communicate directly with the Satellite server, but the clients should only connect to the Capsule servers through the VIP. Current Configuration: Two Capsule servers (pool members) are in one subnet, while the other two are in a different subnet. The VIP is in a different subnet than both the Self IPs and the pool members. Questions: Is it correct that we need two Self IPs because the pool members are split across two different subnets? Does the VIP require its own dedicated interface, VLAN, and Self IP? The pool members, Self IP, and VIP cannot be in the same subnet as the management interface, correct?
