Who can help me?

Hi all, Could you please check below scenario whether it can be implemented by F5 Big-IP and thanks all of your help.

 

1.remote PC dial-up for get internet access.

 

2.When NAS server receive that request, it sneds RADIUS message to the accounting servers which behind F5 load balancer.

 

3.F5 redirect that RADIUS message which from NAS device to the one of active accounting server according to the dispatch method you define.

 

4.F5 device will create a mapping table which include user phone number, IP address which PC get from DHCP server and which accounting server is used for that user now.

 

5.After that, remote PC can access internet, but all traffic which comes from that PC need to load balance to the same accounting server according to the table that I mentioned before base on source IP address, keep the persistency.

 

6.Please notic here, RADIUS message which sends from NAS device destination IP is the VIP address in the F5 box, BUT all traffic from remote PC’s destination IP are NOT relevant on F5 box, all destination IP addresses are the real sevrers in the internet.

 

 

Can we do that? If we can how to configure the F5 box? Thanks very much again !!!!
