Pinging HTTP-Virtual Server

Question

Dear all&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a public facing website configured on f5-LTM. The Virtual server is configured to listen on and only on HTTP. We got requirement now to enable ICMP so that people can ping this website from internet. The private ip of VS is 172.16.1.1 ( example) and is natted to 100.100.100.1 on our firewall.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kindly help me on this.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regards&nbsp;KM&nbsp;

Although I am no expert.... I think you will need to create a new Virtual Server listenning on icmp and then point this to the same nodes as the HTTP virtual server.

Thank you; Is there alternate option other than this. Can we achieve this with help of i-rule.

I dont think you can use an iRule but I am not 100% sure.

I've got VS with listening only on HTTP and still can ping VS's IP. Maybe you got "packet filtering" enabled (by default it should be disabled) on this interface?
