LTM and GTM interfaces with same MAC
I'm experiencing an odd problem with unit running both LTM and GTM on which I have both an LTM virtual and a GTM listener defined on the same subnet.
When a monitor/probe is sent from the GTM interface to the virtual server on the same subnet it fails as the GTM interface and LTM interface are using the same MAC address.
Is there a way in which to have the listener interface use a different MAC, or am I overlooking a very important part of the manual that advises against this configuration?

The pool monitoring the gateway is not the Virtual Server default pool: This pool is unassociated.
The default gateway IP address is the only member of this pool.
But I also posted a reply to James: I guess I shoud use BFD for that purpose.
Thank you.
What you could do is create a gateway monitor and give it an Alias Address of the gwy. Assign that to the pool as a second monitor that is the default pool of the virtual server the vip address is assigned to. That way, when the gwy fails, it marks the pool members down which in turn will retact the advertisment of the route.
