  • Not sure what you are really asking for, but almost anything is described here

    https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-concepts-11-5-0/13.html

    In simple words, self IP belongs to the device while floating belongs to the traffic group and only the active node is using it.

  • Want to ask one more question when big ip updates their content updates  which IP address is going to be used for outgoing traffic. Self ip address right

    • Yes.

      You have also the option to define management routes, so specific services can use management interface.
