NimbostratusDisabled VIP responding to ICMP
Hi Team,
Even after disabling virtual server its responding to ICMP . Is it normal ? i have selected virtual server:virtual server list and disabled it.
Thanks,
Senthil
When you configure a VIP, big-ip creates a virtual listener which you can find under virtual-address section. This virtual-address is shared across all the VIPs that uses this IP in destination field. When you use ping, you get reply from virtual-address, not from a VIP.
As jaikumar mentioned, If you want to disable icmp for a particular IP you need to do it under virtual-address section.
You have some flexibility with ICMP Selective, but again, if you have several VIPs sharing the same IP, then this become a challenge.
