NimbostratusThank you Daniel for the answer.
i probably wasn't clear enough in my question , i will try to clarify.
in the BIG-IP you can create a lot of kind of monitors, some of them can be associated to a node and others not.
when we are creating a new nodes/pools on the BIG-IP i through web interface or TMSH the TMOS list the supported monitors depending if we are creating nodes or creating pools.
for a deep understanding of monitors and BIG-IP how this selection is done?
hope i have been clearer this time and thank you again
