Hello, I am trying to setup a new virtual server (port 80) on F5 BIG-IP. I can ping the VIP and all its member IP. I can ping to the self IP of the F5 from the member server. Service is http and it's running normaly when I'm accessing the server directly, but it gave me a blank page if I access it using the VIP. When I check the pool statistics, it shows bits & packet IN but no bits & packets OUT. I am totally new into this BIG-IP thing, can someone please guide me as clear as possible of what I should do to get this working? Thanks in advance :)

in virtual server properties, configure source address translation to automap.

The above solution worked in virtual server properties, configure source address translation to automap. thanks nitass

can you post the virtual server and pool configuration? tmsh list ltm virtual (name) tmsh list ltm pool (name

virtual server configuration: type : host ip : 10.2.3.4 service port : 80 state : enabled configuration is all basic load balancing default persistence profile source_addr pool load balancing method : least connection (node) priority group : disabled member : 10.2.3.2:80 & 10.2.3.3:80 all members are all set up in ratio and prior group 1

F5 BIG-IP LTM pool no outbound traffic

dear all,

thank you for your effort to help, but I managed to solve it. I dont know why but creating another self IP in same VLAN and check the floating IP options is what makes the magic possible :) I thought floating IP is used for failover between 2 BIG-IP (in my place we only use 1 BIG-IP), can someone explain about this?
