Best practice would be to have the LTM monitor those ports on the related pool to determine the availability of the VIP and not do any additional monitoring at the GTM level. GTM will then learn whether or not the VIP is available over the iquery connection between itself and the LTM.

 

If you wish to assign GTM monitors to the VIP defined in the GTM configuration then you would need to use the "Alias service port" setting in the monitors properties to specify which port the monitor should test. You must switch the configuration utility view from basic to advanced for the alias settings to appear.
