    That tcpdump command I listed above should have created a capture file in/var/tmp. You can SCP the file down to your workstation and open it in Wireshark. Let it run for about 30 seconds and then press Ctrl-c to stop the capture.

I'd recommend doing a tcpdump on the LTM to analyze the HTTP traffic and see what may be happening. Capture it to a file for viewing in Wireshark:

 

tcpdump -nni 0.0 host 172.24.48.9 -s0 -w /var/tmp/httpmonitor.pcap

 

Verify that the host is responding as expected (with a 200) to the GET request.

Can you elaborate on how I use the tcpdump command? I've never used it before and after running it, it was just sitting there and then I lost my Wi-Fi connection to the terminal session and I don't know if the command is still running or not and if I need to do anything else? Thanks
