How to configure internet output

Good Morning,

 

I would like to know how I make an internal host go out through a specific gateway.

 

I have two internet gateways: 189.9.36.193 (gw1) and 200.168.208.233 (gw2). I have an internal host with ip 10.213.50.30 (host).

 

I need the package to have the following path 10.213.50.30 (host) -> 10.213.50.1 (f5) -> 200.168.208.233 (gw2)

 

Thank you very much.

  • Create a performance layer4 virtual server. Destination 0.0.0.0/0 and source 10.213.50.30/32. Create a pool with IP 200.168.208.233, and apply to the virtual server.

     

    That should work. Forwarding IP type does not have a pool option, so you can't use in this case, because it would use the routing table.

     

  • You can add static route towards to internet. Go through link

        create /net route 10.213.50.1/32 gw 200.168.208.233

      But Destination IP could be any Public IP on the internet but not 10.213.50.1 to Match the route.

       

      Therefore, creating performance layer4 virtual server is the way to go.

      So we are creating a static route using the origin and not the destination? In case the source network would be 10.213.50.0/23 and the host would be 10.213.50.30. It would then be "create /net route 10.213.50.30/32 gw 200.168.208.233". Was that right? Thank you.

      You cannot have a static route entry to rote packets based on source IP.

       

      Forget about Static routes.

       

      As Leonardo Souza explained earlier, Use performance layer4 virtual server with with GW as pool and using SNAT enabled
