Question regarding In-line / No SNAT deployment with NSX-ALB (AVI Vantage)

Hi, Im trying to deploy NSX-ALB Service Engines with In-line with No SNAT.

NSX-ALB : Basic Edition

Infrastructure : vSphere + NSX 

Cloud : Default (No Orchestration)

Subnet : 2 (VIP subnet and Pool member subnet)

VRF : global (Default) . static route (default gateway for VIP network)

floating IP : setted for poom member servers

===================================================================

I saw service working well and Layer 3 IP transparency also working with this deployment but I also want achieve

pool member server having Service Engine's floating IP address as a default gateway can communicate outside word itself

and in the other words, I want to connect directly into pool member servers.

What im trying to achieving is in-line with no-snat deploy and also get the connectivities to pool memeber server which set to their

default gateway to NSX-ALB SE's floating IP address.

I know nowdays VMware support service chaining (sort of PBR) to support this kind of scenario but i want to try this without

NSX-T Cloud.

I saw there are feature called "Wildcard VIP" in NSX-ALB and this might be working with this scenario but there are not much paper regarding this feature.

Am i diggin right place or if you have some good suggestions ill be glad to waiting.

 

Thanks folks.

Hi,

I think this is what you mean:

Default Gateway (IP Routing on Avi SE) (avinetworks.com)

Please keep in mind that Basic version has a lot of limitations.
I am not sure if this option works in Basic edition.
Documentation says: Limited: Only default gateway for applications is supported.
