Device name under 'Device Management'
I'm looking for some information as to why there's device name shown as 'bigip1(self)' and also a hostname under 'Device Management > Devices', though the device hostname has been changed. Also, is there a way to change the device name from the CLI?690Views0likes5CommentsBIG-IP to Cisco via 10Gb SFP+ Direct Attach Copper
Hi, Anybody using Cisco DAC 10G transceiver/copper cables (TwinAx) to connect from a Cisco switch to a BIG-IP? Can't seem to find an answer, suspect it is not supported which is always an issue for DACs between vendors. Cheers1.3KViews0likes14CommentsSNAT pool and persistence
Hi all! I have a LTM-setup (10.0.1) with a SNAT Pool containing 5 ip addresses. So each connection uses the next SNAT address (round robin). But for persistent connections (source persistence), i'd like the LTM to use always the same SNAT address, and not to change it during the session. Otherwise some of my applications have problems with session management... Is there a way to configure the SNAT pool in a way that persistent connection always keep their SNAT address? Thanking you in anticipation, regards Marc636Views0likes12CommentsPool member connection

Hi All, Wondering if anyone else has issues with using an IP Forwarder in the manner described in this article (Specifically - Emulating stateless IP routing with BIG-IP LTM forwarding virtual servers): https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/500/sol7595.html. Here's the scenario.... VLAN attached behind the BIG-IP, which has the web servers on. MSSQL servers sat on a VLAN reachable through the BIG-IP. The connections all work, just if SQL traffic isn't routed through the BIG-IP, it works fine. Otherwise, behind the BIG-IP, there is severe delays. I'd suggest it be a good idea not to route this through the BIG-IP, but I wondered what the F5 communities' take on this would be. In short....Simple IP Forwarder (Stateless) for mssql traffic... Good or bad idea? Thanks, JD391Views1like4Commentssnat vs automap, whats the difference?
I'm trying to see the difference between the snat and automap for the Source Address Translation option. Currently I have traffic coming in to the F5 using automap. What though specifically does that mean? And why wouldn't I use SNAT? All the nodes, (servers in our lan), are not configured to have the F5 as its default gateway. I have a lot of virtual servers configured and I'm not sure how the self-ip plays a role in the nating or snating if at all. From what I understand (but could be wrong) an external client request is directed to the vip ip (since our firewall nats it there) and the destination IP is that of the vip. The F5 then translates the destination IP to that of the IP of the pool member. Then on the way back out the source is translated to the of the vip. But what about the selfip? Can someone please explain all this? Thanks!14KViews0likes8Comments
