You may want to reboot or reload the configuration, because if you have the Self-IP of LTM as the gateway for the servers (although you should use the shared IP alias for failover), and you have no SNAT configured, you should see the orginal Client IP as the address in the server log. I suspect you have SNAT Automap or default SNAT configured and you are unaware of it. When the servers and VS are on the same subnet a SNAT is required, unless like in your case, the default gateway of the servers is the LTM.

 

 

Make sure you are changing the correct LTM also if you have redundant pair. You may be changing the standby and using the active.
