Thanks for the quick response hoolio.

 

 

Actually, the issue is that we have a pool of servers, configured with reversnpath VS for accessing internet sites. But there are no monitors applied to the pool.

 

 

Now the question is , will the pool members be marked down ?

 

 

If and when they( pool members) initiate outbound traffic to access INET sites, will F5 process that outbound traffic?

 

 

Or is it mandatory that monitor needs to be applied to every pool to enable pool members be marked as UP?

 

 

Will F5 not ever show pool members as UP, if NO monitors are ever applied to it and therefore process inbound/outbound traffic from them?
