GTM: Virtual Server are offline

Hi Experts,

I have configured a server in F5 DNS(GTM). Inside the server I have configured a virtual server. But GTM shows server offline.

I set 10.10.80.x:80 as the server( This is VIP configured in a Cisco ACE Load Balancer).I also set 10.10.80.x:80 as the virtual server.

The service is up an running at 10.10.80.x:80, but still GTM marks it as offline.

I attached gateway_icmp monitor to Server and /common/http inside the virutal server.

gtm server Test {
    addresses {
        10.10.80.x {
            device-name Test
        }
    }
    datacenter xxx
    monitor gateway_icmp 
    product generic-host
    virtual-servers {
        Test {
            destination 10.10.80.x:http
            monitor http 
        }
    }
}

(LTM-01)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show gtm server Test

I am wondering why this config is NOT working. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Please check that GTM server setting has no bigip monitor (default) attached and make sure to uncheck all iQuery options under advanced settings.

    Have you checked what tcpdump is showing to you? I understand that the telnet is closing at port 80, but it`s good see what is coming back from the ACE. What is the version of F5? The IP address of the server, have you set the physical IP from the device?
