But in my case, the VIP, 200.36.134.131, was not pinging from within the F5 prompt itself.
Nor was it pinging from its upstream router, there was no arp for the VIP as well, even though, arp was enabled on the virtual server.
till.................
BUT WHEN i added/enabled the vlan, c _200.36.134.128_26, on the virtual server, as below:
virtual apps_critical_BTK
{
pool bzt_pool destination 200.36.134.131:https
ip protocol tcp
persist persist_default
profiles tcp_default {}
vlans {
c_10.201.20.25_27
c_200.36.134.128_26
c_16.25.42.36_26
} enable
I was IMMEDIATELY, able to VIP from within and upstream router as well. Can you explain this?
