Hi,

 

For the node If I am making Ping as a monitor node is showing up but my object to monitor the HTTPS service on the node so that in case of HTTPs service failure, F5 mark it down. but as per your suggestion i make the ICMP monitor for the node and HTTPS for the POOL but still POOL is showing down. though I can telnet from client machine on the vip successfully.

 

telnet 192.168.210.208 443 and ping is also working fine from the client machine. Is there anything to do with the cerficate or ssl profile. ???

Then the monitor is not working or the response is not coming back. Try telnet to 443 from the BIG-IP to the pool memebr directly, not from a user machine. If it works, then the default https_443 monitor needs to be adjusted.
