NimbostratusDoes a Node have to be part of a pool?
We have an 2200 LTM. Not certain of the version, but it should up to date, or close to it.
Do you have to have a node part of a pool?
Thanks in advance.

NimbostratusI went ahead and created a pool and added the node to the pool. I also created a health monitor for port 443 and associated the health monitor to the pool. When I do a packet capture from my workstation to the web server, I see a lot of TCP retransmissions, until the page times out. On the web server running tomcat, I don't see in the log file any connection, nor when I do a netstat of my workstation.
Just want to point out that we have other web servers setup in the same network in different pools/VIPs without this problem.
I'm stumped as to what the problem might be or what I'm doing wrong. Thanks, Judy

Unless your F5 is the default gateway of your backend servers and in case you didn't configure source translation already, you'll need to go into the virtual server settings and set the value of "source address translation" to "automap".- gothicreader_23Bingo!!! The automap was not selected and after selecting I was able to reach the web server. Thank you all for your help.
