Gtm to be added as a server inside it

Hi, in the GTM gslb config, you need to add the gtm itself as a server. Any reason why you do it?

 

application delivery
BIG-IP DNS

    I believe it's so that the GTM/DNS knows where it is in relation to other resources that need to be monitored. Responsibility for monitoring servers is delegated to a big3d agent in the data center preferentially.

    Hi sandevsingh

     

    The GTM by default is not self-aware, hence the need to add it as a server object. in addition to @rob_carr's take on it.
