Hi Hendroes,
the
feature is enabled by default and causes the F5 to use theauto-last-hop
of the received connection as the next-hop MAC address while sending data through this connection.SRC_MAC
If you disable the
feature either globaly or individually on certain configuration object, the F5 will fallback to its L3 routing table to locate the next-hop mac while sending outgoing data through this connection.auto-last-hop
In addition to that you can write some iRule to specify the next hop programatically based on every criteria you can think of and even more (via
command). This is Policy-Based-Routing (PBR) on steriods! 😉[nexthop]
