Virtual Server not working

Hello

 

I've set up a new virtual server and pointed it to an existing HTTPS virtual pool. However, when I browse to it I get 'The site can't be reached". We have another virtual server pointing to the same virtual pool and it works fine, the only difference is that the working one has a private IP and the non-working one has a public IP. For the vlan setup, should I only be enabling the vlan that the virtual server IP resides on? And should I enable SNAT or Automap? Any other ideas on what to check? If I look in the virtual server statistics I see connections being successfully made, it just doesn't seem to be reaching the nodes.

 

Thanks LB

  • You want to enable SNAT Automap if the default gateway of your back end server is NOT the BIG-IP, that will prevent asynchronous routing. The vlan should be enabled that the back end server is on.

     

    Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • You may want to check your vlan configuration. Can you post the output of a tcpdump to help diagnose the issues? Perhaps the device is having a routing issue. I have run into an issue before where requests come out the incorrect interface on the F5 if a floating IP is configured in the incorrect vlan.

     

    If you have any more questions, I am sure I can help.
