What does the insert XForwarded option in an HTTP profile do?
- A BIG-IP self-IP is inserted in the source address field on the server-side connection.
- A BIG-IP self-IP is inserted in the source address field on the client-side connection
- The client IP addresses are inserted into messages sent to remote syslog servers.
- The client IP addresses are inserted into the HTTP header.
Explanation
The “Insert XForwarded” option in an HTTP profile inserts client IP addresses into HTTP headers.
When the “Insert XForwarded” option is enabled in an HTTP profile, the BIG-IP system adds an HTTP header named “X-Forwarded-For” to the HTTP request sent to the destination server. The value of this header is the IP address of the client that initiated the request. This allows servers to log the true client IP address rather than the IP address of the BIG-IP system.
Therefore, the correct option is:
- The client IP addresses are inserted into HTTP headers.
