NimbostratusCan't ping active LTMs self ip or floating ip
I have two 2000s (F5a and F5b) in an active/standby configuration. TMOS version = 11.5.2HF1
There are 2 VLANs. Internal, External, HA. My problem is on the internal vlan.
On the internal...

NimbostratusYes..That kb is correct. You cannot block icmp traffic to BIGIP which is by default allowed in BIGIP for within same VLAN.
cchen_185811Thanks for your prompt reply. Would you know how I can get ping to work on the Active node? and not just on the Standby node?
This behavior is by design. When you try to ping a SelfIP on an interface that is not the interface you are originating from, it won't work on the Active device. You can ping the standby because, once you get back there, the Active device knows where to find that IP.
I'm not sure there is ever value in trying to ping the inside interface of the device like this. I've never seen a convincing use case.
san2hosh_306591I have the similar issue. where I can ping the non-floating address of the standby. But I cannot ping floating address on standby and all self-IP's in the active one. Any help.
