Load Balance Logging

Hi guys, I don' t visit these forums since some time now. There' s the situation: FG External IP : 12.13.14.15/32 FG Internal IP : 10.0.0.254/24 I' ve correctly set up a Load Balancer as follows: 1. Health Check : PING 2. Virtual Server - VS-Name - Type : TCP - Interface : wan1 - Virtual Server IP 12.13.14.15 - Virtual Server port : 1234 - LB Method : static - Persistence : None - Health Check : My-PING-Check 3a. Real Server #1 - Virtual Server : VS-Name - IP Address : 10.0.0.1 - Port : 1234 - Max Connections : 0 - Mode : Active 3b. Real Server #2 - Virtual Server : VS-Name - IP Address : 10.0.0.2 - Port : 1234 - Max Connections : 0 - Mode : Active I' ve then created a FW policy thet permits the needed incoming traffic. Everything works perfectly, load balance works as needed. Now the problem: If I check the incoming traffic logs on both my Real Servers, there' s always only an IP address that connects to them. The IP Address I can see in my default gateway IP 10.0.0.254 and not the real external IP addresses. Do you perhaps know how to resolve this ? Thank you a lot, bye Kess.

Have you enabled NAT on your firewall policy ? It should be disabled.

Hi Selective, thank you for your reply. NAT is the first thing I' ve checked when I saw this issue. It' s disabled in the Firewall Policy rule. Any further help is really appreciated. Thank you, bye Kess.
