Configuring the inside BIG-IP LTM system
The next section of this deployment is to configure the inside BIG-IP LTM
system (as shown in Figure 12). On the inside BIG-IP LTM system, you
need to complete the following procedures:
• Creating self IPs on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
• Creating the health monitor on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
• Creating the pools on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
• Creating the TCP profile
• Creating the virtual servers on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
• Creating a default SNAT on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
Creating self IPs on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
The first step in configuring the inside BIG-IP LTM system is to configure
self IP addresses.
To configure the self IPs on the inside BIG-IP LTM system, follow the same
procedure as Creating the self IP on the outside BIG-IP LTM system, on
page 21, using the appropriate IP addresses. In our example, we create an
external facing (10.10.10.1) and an internal facing (157.168.10.1) self IP
address.
Creating the health monitor on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
The next step is to configure a health monitor on the inside BIG-IP LTM
system.
To create this monitor, use the procedure Configuring a health monitor, on
page 22.
Creating the pools on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
On the inside BIG-IP LTM system, you need to configure a pool for Access
Proxy devices and a pool for the next hop server in the enterprise network.
The next hop server could be the IP address of a Standard Edition server or
the virtual IP address of an Enterprise Edition pool. The Standard Edition
server or the Enterprise Edition pool could be acting as Directors.
Creating a pool for the Access Proxy devices on the inside BIG-IP LTM system
To configure a pool for the Access Proxy devices, follow the same
procedure as Creating a pool for the Access Proxy devices on the outside
BIG-IP LTM system, on page 22, but naming the pool ap_pool_inside and
typing the IP address of the internal interface of the Access Proxy servers.
