NimbostratusLink Controller v12.1 Link Creation error. no reply from big3d
NimbostratusHello,Thank you. My device is not in USA, so in theory i should be eligible to apply the sol. I am working with the solution you refer, but my pool and wideIp does not work with any load balanced method beside round robin, so this SOL does not apply. In any case, i did apply the workaround explained there, but still the same result.

Strange. I've tried to reproduce this in my lab but the gtm pool members show green. Perhaps I've not set it up the same way as you have, or my license is slightly different.
Can you provide your gtm (lc) configuration ?
Alternatively, open a support case, so that we can take a proper look at the qkview and license details.

That monitor is pinging Google's DNS server through the object to be monitored (The ISP links). F5's labeled then as Path Check monitors.
About the ISP links. Forget about the "Gateway ICMP", you are just injecting more noise to the network since the "WAN-monitor is also pinging indirectly your ISP links. I do recommend you to take it out from the ISP links. Second, the BiIp_Link doesn't need to point to 8.8.8.8. This is weird. Please assign the default BigIP_link monitor that comes pre-defined with GTM. If you customized the pre-defined one (the parent), which is something that is highly not encouraged, delete 8.8.8.8 from it or create a new one (select BigIP link as pattern and click on create without modifying anything else).
I've attached a few captures from my own lab. Follow this process. First configure the pool of ISP and the monitor -In your case WAN monitor-. Second associated that pool as default gateway. Third create a GTM Server object and defined as address both F5's selfIps that connect with your ISP links routers. Last, if it's not created yet, create two links objects in GTM and associated to them "BigIP_link"monitor (Plain or regular monitor, not modified. This monitor will retrieve the status of the Default Gateway pool if the ip address match).
My default GW's pool configuration My default gw conf My GTM server within the DC (check the ip address 10.1.20.224, it's in the same network range as my ISP link) The default BigIP_link monitor And the link itself
Hope it's more clear now

Hi javier,
thank's for the Lab( very helpful).I have question about the server that you created on the GSLB server: LC1 ->@ 10.1.20.224 is it the Self-IP (wich represent your public address).
