    Hello Adhil,

     

    I don't know about WIPs, but I think you could track down what virtual server is assigned to a server by backtracking through the bigip.conf file in CLI.

     

    Open up bigip.conf in vi, and search for your pool member/server. Once you've found the entry, look at which pools it is a part of. Then you can search for that pool and find out which virtual server it is attached to.

     

    Here's a guide on vi if you don't feel super comfortable navigating through it.

     

    Feel free to ask if you have any follow-up questions,

     

    Austin

If you have a basic setup of virtual servers with a default pool on each without any iRules to select non-default pools, your quickest option is to go to web interface:

 

Local Traffic --> Network Map, and do a search for the IP address
