f5-asm and ace forward and reverse traffic

[anand kumar]

Hi all,

In our datacentre setup , we have f5 asm & ace- cisco for loadbalancing

in which f5 is configured with  self ip& below the selfip,the  nodeip is there which is inturn the

virtual ip for Ace t2 context

the incoming traffic on f5 is like

Publicip:xx--> f5.selfip:80-->Ace virtualip:yy

for the ace request handling is of below

Ace.virtualip:yy-->Rserver:xx

but here the issue is that reverse http response flow is some what not analogous

rserver:xx-->f5.selfip:80 & back to the Public ip

myquery is that why the reply back from the rserver is not given back to ace virtual ip, but to the

selfip of f5

Good morning,

You need to configure your routing in a way that the return traffic goes through the ACE. If you don't,  you may end up in the situation you are seeing
