Are the IP's resolvable to host names via the hosts file or DNS? If so, you could set a DB key to have LTM resolve them:

 

 

db bigpipe.displayhostnames true

 

 

However, this can add significant latency to the GUI as LTM will be doing lookups to display the host names.

 

 

Do you want to do this regularly or just once? If the latter, you might try doing it off of LTM.

If they're resolved, or manually named, the names show up through the config uitlity > pool members. I couldn't find a way to have it display names via the "bigpipe pool" commands though.
