Monitoring without self ip

Hi,

 

 

I think it is impossible, but do you know if there is a way to monitor using snat ip?

 

 

Thanks.

    No, it's not possible. See this post for details:

    As Denny suggests, it's not possible. Both units in an active-standby pair need to independently poll the pool members to ensure they have valid state information for the nodes. But only the active unit can make requests from a shared IP address. So both units use static self IP addresses.
