Thanks for your quick response. In LTM 12.0 version, we do not have the host/network option. whereas if I give the value as 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.255, it goes well and Virtual server is getting created. Even if we don't give the mask value, giving only the IP Address alone also getting created but in the back end value 255.255.255.255 is getting added to the subnet mask. Validated the same using iControl APIs also Without this value, not able to create the Virtual server using iControl (SOAP) API as well.

Ahh this is 12 version. I see That is correct when using tmsh I usually give the mask like this - "create virtual test_vs destination 192.168.0.1:80 mask 255.255.255.255"
