Self and Floating IP mac-address conflict
Hi, I am trying to troubleshoot one of the server behind F5 VIP. I disabled the 2 servers out of 3, to isolate the issue. The LTM is in active/standby configuration. There is self and floating ip configured on it. Somehow F5 is not able to send packets to the end server. When i did the tcpdump on self ip and floating IP, I see health check IPs are flowing through both IPs. As far as I know, I think only self IP should be used to communicate with the end server. Then I ran run a tcpdump including the layer 2 information to check for ARPs in my network:
tcpdump -nnni -e -c 100 'arp and host '
And I see that self and floating IP having the same mac-address.
Not sure if this the issue on F5 or how can i approach to resolve this issue.
