what is the purpose of the cmd - vlans q_mps_r_10.221.256.0_27 enable ? the virtual server is enabled on q_mps_r_10.221.256.0_27 vlan only. that means if traffic has to come from that vlan to hit the virtual server.

What it does, when it is mapped to a VS? Is it a normal configuration to map vlans to Virtual servers just like pools, profiles etc?that is fine. it might have some scenario which we do not want virtual server to be listening on every vlan.

can you try this command and see if arp is enabled or not?

b virtual address 10.221.256.254 list all

this is mine. 

[root@ve1023:Active] config  b virtual address 172.28.19.79 list all
virtual address 172.28.19.79 {
   enable
   limit 0
   arp enable
   route advertisement disable
   mask 255.255.255.255
   floating enable
   unit 1
   server any
   partition Common
}
