BIP-IP : identify true client-ip
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi
I suppose this is more of a nw question than a BIG-IP question.
I am testing http requests against our prod website from a client located within our corporate nw.
On my prod f5 virtual-server I have a diagnostic irule which writes this log :
log local0. "Client [IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]"
However, BIG-IP logs a client-ip different than my client's static-ip.
I believe traffic is being NAT'd before routing externally and arriving at our prod DC.
How can I setup a test client so that BIG-IP logs the true ip ? ( my client's static-ip )
