nPath routing in L3 setup

Question

Hi,&nbsp;
We like to setup a configuration with use of nPath routing (Direct Server Return).
Client , server and BIG-IP are connected on different interfaces of the same layer3 router.
Just like the "Layer 3 nPath routing example" described in document https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-1-0/6.html
The poolmember server is Windows 2008 and cannot deal with IPIP of GRE tunnels as described in the document.&nbsp;
Is there an alternative perhaps that I overlooked?&nbsp;
regards,
DevP.&nbsp;

Take a look at this document. I think you are probably wanting to actually do Layer2 nPath. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-5-0/4.html

Thanks for your time Brad. We decided and will indeed go for a Layer2 nPath solution. &nbsp;
