CirrocumulusHello Swathi,
To start, I would try clearing the cache on your LTM, just to make sure it is a problem with caching and not some other issue. If you don't have an acceleration profile configured, I believe there should be no caching on your LTM, but it doesn't hurt to check.
If it didn't already have a caching profile, apply the default one. Then run:
tmsh delete ltm profile ramcache [cprofile name]
For more info on caching on the LTM sytem, you can read F5's article here. Hopefull that will at least get you started in the right direction.
Feel free to ask if you have any follow-up questions,
Austin
swathi_sankabatI didn't receive any cache data for web acceleration profiles still I have ran the below command for each and every web acceleration profile.
is there any way that I can find out the intermediate device that is caching
- swathi_sankabat
delete /ltm profile ramcache

If you wanted to prove that it is the intermediate device that is caching the information, you could always route around it/remove it from the architecture. If it works, you know that the intermediate is causing the issue. From a troubleshooting perspective, you would at least prove that it is the proxy doing the caching, and not the BIG-IP.
Of course, it might be easier to just look at the intermediate itself. I don't know what proxy/intermediate device you're using, but there's probably some documentation on caching for it, i.e. if it supports caching, if you can clear the cache on it, etc.
