Doable? VIP on one network, real servers on another

Hi Folks,
I have my AX’s in one-arm mode. Normally I create a VIP and set a Source NAT IP that are both on the same network as the real servers. EG. VIP 10.10.10.200, SNAT 10.10.10.199 to 10.10.10.200, and real servers 10.10.10.30 and 10.10.10.31. Is it possible to change the VIP to another network? EG. somewhere on 10.254.254.0/24, leaving the rest as is?

I would assume the SNAT IP has to be on the same network as the real servers?

Would I have to add some routing or ACLs?

without actually trying it I’m not sure how to proceed.
Thanks
Tony

Hello Tony,

It is possible to put the VIP in another network but you will have to configure one of the AX interfaces in that same network so that the traffic could reach it.

Your assumption regarding the SNAT is correct.

To achieve what you are mentioning, you wouldn’t require to do anything related to routing or ACLs.

Thanks,
Luis
