Hi,

 

 

Below is the config of virtual, pool and snatpool on F5 that is in production. need assitance.

 

 

snatpool vlan12_sp { member 63.25.36.7 }

 

 

pool reversenpath_vlan12_pl { member 63.25.36.1:any }

 

 

virtual reversenpath_vlan20_vs {

 

snatpool vlan12_sp

 

pool reversenpath_vlan25_pl

 

destination any:any

 

mask 0.0.0.0

 

profiles fastl4_reversenpath_default {}

 

vlans 20 enable

 

 

Internet is not working on the servers connected to vlan 20.

 

 

Thanks - genseek

 

  • So what then is the used of the below pool, mapped to the wild card VS.

     

     

     

    pool reversenpath_vlan12_pl { member 63.25.36.1:any }

    pool reversenpath_vlan12_pl { member 63.25.36.1:any } bigip will send traffic to destination address via pool member address (using pool member as gateway).
  • in the below tcpdump command, i want to capture only 100 packets. what is the switch to be inserted?

     

     

    tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnn -s0 -w /var/tmp/output.pcap host x.x.x.x or host 63.25.36.7

    Following pool and monitor is configured, as can be seen below.

     

     

    pool asm_443_pl {

     

    monitor all https_asm_mn

     

    members {

     

    172.20.60.10:https {}

     

    172.20.60.12:https {

     

    down

     

    }

     

    172.20.60.25:https {

     

    down

     

     

    monitor https_asm_mn {

     

    defaults from https_default

     

    dest *:https

     

    send "Get /HeartBeat/Probe.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"

     

     

    As can be seen, few nodes in the pool are showing down and few UP. Any thoughts

    hope this helps.

    where does the dump get stored?

     

     

    /var/tmp/output.pcap host x.x.x.x

     

     

    how to access the output.pcap file from the ltm?

     

     

    how to get the pcap file from ltm to my local host?
  • tcpdump -r/var/tmp/output.pcap to read the file at the command line. To copy to a different machine, you can use scp or pscp

     

     

    pscp root@:/var/tmp/output.pcap .
