Hi Raz,

 

 

Are you wanting to specify a source IP address for LTM to use to send monitor traffic? If so, and you have a redundant pair of LTMs, this cannot work. Both units in the pair need to perform the monitor checks in order to determine the state of the pool member. And two separate network devices cannot use the same IP address at the same time. You'll need to have the service provider allow requests from multiple IP addresses.

 

 

If I've misunderstood your scenario, could you provide more information on what you're trying to do?

 

 

Thanks, Aaron
