When a client raise a request in Web browser what will be the URL/IP will it mentioned over there ?

 

This should be the Virtual Server IP

 

once traffic hit to the BIG-IP the how BIG IP will forward that to the respective Pool ?

 

You can set the default pool to your virtual server. Furthermore, you can also do a load balancing with some algorithm in Big-IP.

But when it is network based Virtual servers you are running a Network and not a host. So in this case the Virtual address will be the whole network and not a single host. so how can a client specify the URL or IP particularly in the Web vrowser ?
