Hello everyone! Thanks for all!! Please find below my topology...

 

 

BIG-IP box 01 (100.100.100.2) needs to monitoring ISP-01 (40.40.40.1) thru Router-01 (GW 100.100.100.1. The main problem is when "ISP-01 LINK" goes DOWN, BIG-IP can reach 40.40.40.1 thru ISP-02.

 

Tried also a route ip 40.40.40.1 thru GW 100.100.100.1, no joy... route thru Pool_ISP01, no joy...

 

Is this the best scenario for a transparent ICMP config? How can I do that ?

 

Thank you very very much!!

I'm not sure transparent monitors are the answer. Based on what Henrik said about using MAC address, that won't be relevant here as you are going through multiple router hops to get to the address that you'd want to monitor. In other words, you aren't testing transparent network devices.
