In addition we have learned that from within the same vlan as the F5, hosts can not ping the active F5 self IP, the floating IP and all of the virtual servers. So F5 can ping server on same vlan, but server cannot ping F5. We have confirmed packets coming from F5 are being received by server, but the server is unable to send packets back.

 

 

at this point, we're thinking the issue may be that because both the floating IP and the primary self IP have the same mac address, it's breaking ARP requests within the same vlan.
