same setup was working absolutely fine with BrocadeserverIron ADX 1000, I don't understand why it is not working on F5, though configured layer2 forwarding on f5, may be we did not configured correctly.

 

I would like to highlight that during our testing F5 was owning server IP address and was advertising it in ARP table because of which server was unable to come online , we need to make sure that should never happen again.

 

Please help me to resolve this problem.
