You said you can ping the host servers from the switch. So there is an SVI defined on the switch. Can you ping this SVI from the LTM?

I think I found my issue. The Cisco switch has a default configuration, all ports are in VLAN1. When I configure the LTM connected port as a trunk and configure the server port as an access port in VLAN2 then they communicate. This is with the LTM interface tagged and untagged. Is there a way to configure the LTM to communicate with the Cisco switch with all ports on the Cisco in the default VLAN1? Or do I need to configure VLANs on the Cisco switch? I think Cisco treats tagged and untagged differently from other industry switches.
