Hi

 

you do not need to have LTM for FW traffic.

 

You confirm the following point:

 

  • Create a wildcard VS 0.0.0.0:* (L4)
  • uncheck "Address Translation" and "Port Translation"
  • In your pool you have to set a node that will be the GW of F5 (1.2.3.4:*)
  • Don't forget to set snat automap

Using TCPDUMP check that client request reach F5 on self IP (or floating IP if you have a cluster):

 

tcpdump -nni 0.0 host client-ip and host self/floatingIP
