Disable port and address translation. Let me know if that works.
- zackJun 08, 2016AltostratusBrilliant answer! @gbamm! After turning these two variables off, my forwarding virtual server working like a charm. However i got 2 questions: 1. what are the 2 variable controlling? ( translate-address & translate-port ) I created the layer2 forwarding by using most of the default settings. The VE is also a brand-new instance, so if these 2 options needs to be off, I haven't seen any docs or kbs mentioned that... (I may miss some important docs...) 2. I am not sure whether these 2 variables can be adjusted in GUI? I did that in tmsh but want to make sure which field in GUI they're mapping to... Thanks again for saving my next few hours...
- gbam_190768Jun 08, 2016CirrusWhen using a normal VS you want the F5 to change (translate) the destination IP to the destination node's IP (And port). In this case you didn't have one as you wanted the F5 to route it. They should both be under the VS config, advanced options somewhere. I don't have a working VE up right now otherwise I'd look but it's in the GUI.
- zackJun 08, 2016AltostratusI just double checked... When choosing VS type as "forwarding layer 2", these two options are masked... which mean nowhere can be set in GUI. ( VE 12.0.0 ) When tuning VS type to standard, these two options are shown in the GUI... Address Translation Port Translation I am not sure whether this is by design or a defect... but it is confusing people like me ( as a newbie) :)
