A BIG-IP has two load balancing virtual servers at 150.150.10.10:80 and 150.150.10.10:443. The port 80 virtual server has SNAT automap configured. There is also a SNAT configured at 150.150.10.11 set for a source address range of 200.200.1.0 / 255.255.255.0. All other settings are at their default states.
If a client with the IP address 200.200.1.1 sends a request to https://150.150.10.10, what is the source IP address when the associated packet is sent to the pool member?
The client with the IP address 200.200.1.1 sends a request to https://150.150.10.10 (port 443). The SNAT at 150.150.10.11 is only configured for a source address range of 200.200.1.0/255.255.255.0, and the SNAT automap is only configured for the virtual server on port 80. Since there is no specific SNAT configuration for the virtual server on port 443, the source IP address remains unchanged. Therefore, the source IP address when the packet is sent to the pool member will be 200.200.1.1.
Since the question didn't say anything about the SNAT being applied to the virtual server on port 443, the answer is A.
I think "configured" implies that it was.
The answer is A. request is https
Since there is no SNAT assigned to the VS with 443, the source IP will remain the same.
why not D .
