Bind a Vlan to interface LTM-F5

I have a Vlan created: TestVlan1, assigned it to Tagged Interface 1.3. Then I created a self IP: 172.24.1.2 linked to to TestVlan1. I connect 1.3 interface to the firewall & I don't see my pings hitting the firewall. I then put a laptop in the place of the F5 with the same ip (172.24.1.2) and try to ping the firewall & I can see it. I ssh into the F5 & try the ping again & again nothing is showing up. ifconfig confirms that I have the following: TestVlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr "00:00:00:00:00:00" inet addr:172.24.1.2 Bcast:172.24.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2491 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:868 (868.0 b) TX bytes:105070 (102.6 KiB)

 

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

 

Thank you in advanced.

    how is the firewall interface configured? Looks like you have a tagged vlan (vlanID ???) interface on the F5, so I assume you have the same on the FW port? But you plugged the laptop into the same firewall port and it worked so maybe you have an untagged interface on the FW (assuming you haven't created a tagged interface on your laptop)?
