CSM header modification to report true source-ip

[joemarr_brodart]

I have a need to modify the Source-IP in the HTTP header to report the client and not the loadbalancer IP. I've attempted to use the method listed in the documentation, however the client IP is not being logged:

module ContentSwitchingModule 5

vlan 120 client

ip address x.x.x.68 255.255.255.192 alt x.x.x.69 255.255.255.192

gateway x.x.x.65

!

vlan 121 server

ip address y.y.y.100 255.255.255.248 alt y.y.y.101 255.255.255.248

route z.z.z.149 255.255.255.255 gateway y.y.y.97

route w.w.w.117 255.255.255.255 gateway y.y.y.97

route v.v.v.117 255.255.255.255 gateway y.y.y.97

!

Do I have this correct?

Remove the serverfarm from the vserver configuration. Since you are using a policy, the serverfarm serves as a default serverfarm.

I am sure you understand this but just wanted to make sure

You wont see source IP as "source ip" of the request. This config will ensure that your http header will include a header "Source-IP" with source ip of request as the header value.

Did you mean remove the serverfarm from the policy? If I remove it from the vserve, wont this break lb if I have multiple differnet serverfarms and vservs?

As for the Source-IP, I assume this means I need to modify Apache/IIS to add this header to the log entry?

I mean

vserver TESTFARM

virtual x.x.x.70 any

serverfarm TESTFARM <-- is not needed

advertise active

persistent rebalance

slb-policy INSERT <-- SF is already referenced here

inservice
