Empty Virtual Address List on ASM BIG-IP

Hi,

 

What could be reason that no VIP is listed in Virtual Address List - I never seen something like that before. It's HA pair in Active-Active configuration with two Traffic Groups running on BIG-IP 2000 devices with 11.6.x TMOS licensed for ASM only.

 

There is plenty of VS defined and when checking in TG - Objests I can see different VIPs in both TG. I can as well change TG for self IPs.

 

But there is no way I can find to change it for VIPs - as there are no VIPs in the list.

 

Is that something specific to ASM only license on BIG-IPs?

    Pardon me if I'm misunderstanding what you're describing, but if they're not also licensed for LTM, there would be no VS to display correct?

    Well, you can buy ASM only licensed BIG-IP - and that is the case. BIG-IP working as WAF only - if I am not wrong it's still using LTM as a base but with limitation that you can't use any LB - just pools with one pool member. I am not aware of any more limitations for such license - is there any?

    Virtual address list may be empty if you are not in the right partition.

    Hi,

     

    I doubt it's partition related issue as we were creating mew VS in Common and no VIP showed up. Can't check right now but I am pretty sure only Common partition exists on device. That is the reason I am asking - never saw such situation before. I as well never played with devices licensed only for ASM (so basic LTM without LB) but it doesn't make sense why VIPs should not be listed for this kind of licenses.
