NimbostratusForwarding IP recommendations - using destination /32
Hello team,
I am looking for any information related to "how to" create Forwarding IP with destination /32 address, recently I had an issue with a backend server, I created the Forwarding IP and destination was that server IP, well the server rebooted automatically for patches, then the F5 took over that IP (didn't realize a virtual address is automatically created under virtual address list) with ARP and echo enabled. so the server was added to one pool, because of that , the pool went down.
Do you know if recommended action is use /24 or different subnet than /32 when creating Forwarding IP, or disable ARP and echo for Forwarding IPs.

if you use server address as ltm vs dest address, then you need to use vs type Forwarding, not Standard:
