Monitoring anything fails
I've set up a GTM with one data centre, link and server; and one wide ip with one pool and one virtual server (Microsoft windows 2008 using network load balancing)
What ever monitor I use, it comes back as failed and offline. I originally put this down to a network configuration issue in our set up but I have been doing some very basic tests, disabling the switch port that the GTM in plugged into to ensure the interface shows as down(it does), and that the switch port the GTM is plugged into is the correct VLAN(it is).
As I understand from researching the forums, the self ip address doesn't respond to pings for security (I don't understand what security could be gain from this?) but I really need help and ideas to what the cause of the problems I'm facing are and/or how to trouble shoot this problem.
Many thanks for any help provided,
Dc.
