What is required for a virtual server to support clients whose traffic arrives on the internal VLAN and pool members whose traffic arrives on the external VLAN?
4647
Virtual Servers have a setting called VLAN and Tunnel Traffic which defines where the BIG-IP 'listens' for new connections.4849
Ingress Logic: A virtual server is an entry point. It must be enab50led on the VLAN where the Client resides. If a client is on the '51Internal' VLAN, the Virtual Server must be enabled there to receive the traffic.
Egress Logic: The BIG-IP system uses the TMM Routing Table and Self-IPs to reach pool members. It does not need the Virtual Server to be 'enabled' on the destination VLAN (External) to send traffic there.
Default Behavior: By default, Virtual Servers are enabled on 'All VLANs.' However, if restricted for security, the administrator must ensure the Virtual Server is active on the client-facing (ingress) VLAN.
