To add the "X-Forwarded-For" header on a load balancer Application Delivery Controller (ADC), you will need to access the ADC's configuration settings. The exact steps to add the header may vary depending on the specific ADC software or platform you are using. However, here is a general guide to help you locate where to add the "X-Forwarded-For" header:

Log in to the administration interface or management console of your ADC.
Navigate to the section or menu related to virtual servers, listeners, or HTTP profiles.
Locate the specific virtual server or listener where you want to add the "X-Forwarded-For" header.
Edit the settings for the virtual server or listener.
Look for an option that allows you to modify or configure HTTP headers or request/response settings.
Within the HTTP header settings, find the option to add custom headers or modify existing headers.
Add a new header with the name "X-Forwarded-For" (without quotes) and set its value to the appropriate client IP address or the desired value.
Save the changes to apply the new header configuration.
Test the load balancer to ensure that the "X-Forwarded-For" header is being added correctly.
Please note that the specific terminology, menu structure, and options may differ depending on the ADC software or platform you are using. It is recommended to refer to the documentation or user guide provided by the ADC vendor for detailed instructions on how to add custom headers like "X-Forwarded-For" on your specific ADC model or software version.

To add the X-Forwarded-For header on a load balancer ADC, you will need to follow the steps below:

    Identify the load balancer ADC that you want to add the header to. This may vary depending on the specific load balancer ADC that you are using.
    Log in to the load balancer ADC's management console.
    Navigate to the section of the management console where you can configure HTTP headers. This may also vary depending on the specific load balancer ADC that you are using.
    Create a new HTTP header with the name "X-Forwarded-For" and the value of "CLIENT.IP.SRC".
    Bind the new HTTP header to the appropriate virtual servers. This will ensure that the header is added to all incoming requests that are forwarded to those virtual servers.

Here are some specific instructions for adding the X-Forwarded-For header on some popular load balancer ADCs:

    Citrix ADC:

    Go to Traffic Management > Load Balancing > Virtual Servers.
    Select the virtual server that you want to add the header to.
    Click the Edit icon.
    In the HTTP tab, click the Add button.
    In the Header Name field, enter "X-Forwarded-For".
    In the Header Value field, enter "CLIENT.IP.SRC".

When configuring the "X-Forwarded-For" header on your load balancer ADC, access the ADC management interface using either a web browser or an SSH client, depending on your setup. Within the interface, locate the section related to HTTP profiles or policies, where modifications to HTTP headers can be made. Here, you'll find an option to add custom headers. Add the "X-Forwarded-For" header along with the appropriate value, typically representing the original client's IP address. After making these changes, ensure to save and apply the configuration. It's crucial to test the configuration afterward to confirm that the "X-Forwarded-For" header is being added correctly to the HTTP requests sent to the backend servers. If you're uncertain about the specific steps for your ADC model, consult the official documentation provided by the manufacturer for detailed and tailored instructions.
