hold on...how are you changing the MGMT IP? are you working directly on the bigip config files? If you're not fully familiar with F5 config, you shouldn't be doing that.

 

To change the MGMT IP from the F5 webGUI, go to System >> Platform

    I changed it via System >> Platform. After change --> No ip 61 on bigip_base.conf. But Still can ping 69.61. I want to know where is it on my BigIP F5. And how to delete it.

    are you sure is not a self-ip?

     

    If you cannot find the IP in either bigip.conf nor bigip_base.conf, there may be another device using that IP in your network.

    I can confirm the ip 61 is from BIGIP. When I disconnect the link. Both IP 61 and IP 70 can not be reached. And two mac address: Old IP: 10.220.69.61 MAC f4-15-63-f6-63-00 New IP: 10.220.69.61 MAC f4-15-63-f6-63-02

     

    They are just difference a little bit.
