Hi Surya,

 

If you have HTTP profile setup on the VIP then you can enable X-Forwarded-For insertion on that HTTP profile. This allows LTM to pass the original client IP in a custom HTTP header in requests to the pool members which, in your case, happen to web servers.

 

 

Of course the webservers will need to look for that particular header.
