NimbostratusIs it possible to capture packets like tcpdump on F5 Load balancer?
What OS is installed on a F5 Load Balancer? And is it possible to capture tcpdump on the Loadbalancer to capture packets to verify if a connection is getting dropped at LB Level?

Hey Raj
The BIG-IP's operating system is based upon Red Hat and yeah you can use tcpdump to troubleshoot load balancing issues. Please check this article for reference:
