That's a tricky question. As far as BIG-IP is concerned, each Node address is just that: an address. There really isn't a higher level concept of a "machine" where all the ip addresses come from. When you add a pool member for 10.10.10.10 and 20.20.20.20 in the LTM config, these could be on the same or different physical machines, there is really no way to know from the LTM.

 

 

One option you can do in the GUI is to give a user friendly name to the node that is something prefixed with the physical machine identifier they are located at, but this would have to be a manual effort.
