- The_BhattmanNimbostratusI don't see why not. So far my clients have had no issues.
- Josh_41258NimbostratusSure.. it's just SMTP. You can configure a SMTP monitor, and virtual server listening on TCP/25.
- Thanks. I did not see any reason why it wouldn't work but our network guy pointed out that it is more designed for web traffic. We'll give it a shot.
- Deb_Allen_18Historic F5 AccountBIG-IP used to be fairly HTTP-centric, but that has changed. These days we support a broad range of TCP and UDP applications using similar checkbox features as those provided for HTTP.
- Matt_D_109285NimbostratusI recently purchased a Big IP LB with ver. 4.5.12 and have had no luck load balancing SMTP. I am trying to do the same setup described. So far, I created a pool with the SMTP servers (added in this format 10.0.0.x:25), no SNAT, no NAT and LB type is Round Robin. *LB and SMTP servers are on the same VLAN.
- hooleylistCirrostratusntsllc, that sounds about right. Are the servers set with a default gateway of the BIG-IP? If you're not using SNAT, the gateway would need to be the BIG-IP. Also, the client could not be on the same subnet as the servers.
