Node/server is not showing on F5

Hello all , I am new in F5 and want to understand things how it is running on F5

 

While tracing a server it is showing me behind F5 with a vlan but when i logged to F5 and search this server in node list it is not showing there. So , be curious why this server is not showing there.

 

bash-2.03$ traceroute 10.52.24.20
traceroute to 10.52.24.20 (10.62.34.20), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

  • May be  its a virtual server not a node. otherwise the server is sitting behind F5 (gateway will be F5).We are creating node if we want to add this server for load balancing. If the server note using for load balancing, node not needed . Try a ping/treaceroute from LB if its not a virtual server.
