Not sure what is wrong when you are doing, but it works fine on my lab:

[root@LABBIGIP2:Active:Disconnected] config # tmsh show sys connection cs-server-addr 172.20.0.101
Sys::Connections
172.20.0.10:52965  172.20.0.101:80  172.19.0.5:52965  172.19.0.6:80  tcp  0  (tmm: 3)  none  none
Total records returned: 1
[root@LABBIGIP2:Active:Disconnected] config # tmsh show sys connection | grep -F "172.20.0.101"
172.20.0.10:52965  172.20.0.101:80  172.19.0.5:52965  172.19.0.6:80  tcp  1  (tmm: 3)  none  none
[root@LABBIGIP2:Active:Disconnected] config #

cs = client side = connection side between the client and F5.

ss = server side = connection side between the F5 and server.

In my example:

cs-client-addr = 172.20.0.10

cs-server-addr = 172.20.0.101

ss-client-addr = 172.19.0.5

ss-server-addr = 172.19.0.6

Same idea applies if you are using the port instead of addr.

    ya, the same I am trying to figure out, only cs-server-port and ss-server-port commands are working for me, i tried all of it. No luck. Initially, I thought it might be due to the apps created via iApps template, but other ones are not working either.

     

    What does -F do?

     

    Thanks for trying it in your lab. I need to figure out why its not working for me.
