difference between self-ip and internal-facing vip

f5 BIG-IP LTM VE 11.4.0   Could someone please describe the difference between a self-ip assigned to an internally-facing vlan , and a virtual server on the same subnet as that vlan ?

Not necessarily, depends on where the f5 sits in your network. If using snat on the vs then that could be the case. This will explain better than I can:http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-concepts-11-4-0/13.htmlconceptid
