Forward Proxy Setup is Taking Precedence Over NAT
Hi All,
I need a help from you guys(F5 Guru's) on one of the issue which I have being working for long time(may be 5 months).
In my environment we are using Performance layer 4 VS(Forward Proxy Setup) for PATTing(Outbound internet connection) and Nating for Inbound connection. Issue which I am facing is that the Forward Proxy Setup is Taking Precedence Over NAT. Inbound connection(From Internet----->NAT IP) is working fine but outbound connection(from Original IP---------->Internet) is not working as expected. Its always getting patted to the SNAT IP(Cust1_SNAT_Pool-63) which is configured in forward proxy but it supposed to be NATed(Cust1_example-NAT-55). Would be great if some could shed some lights on this issue.
Forward Proxy Conf:-
ltm virtual Cust1-ForwardProxy { description "Cust 1" destination 0.0.0.0%2378:any mask any pool External_default-gateway profiles { fastL4 { } } snatpool Cust1_SNAT_Pool-63 translate-address disabled translate-port disabled vlans { Cust1.app/vlan2378_Cust1 } vlans-enabled
NAT Conf:-
ltm nat Cust1_example-NAT-55 { inherited-traffic-group true originating-address x.x.x.x%2378 traffic-group traffic-group-1 translation-address 1.1.1.1
