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.
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.
