I have two LTM's, one for external and one internal. I believe I got mixed up, I thought the documentation had stated this for the FE pool but it looks like i was wrong. I am assuming that i will need to follow this similar process for my edge pool so when i get that far quite possibly tomorrow) i will give this a shot on my other LTM. Thank you for clearing this up! I will carry on as I had it functioning before and begin to deploy edge services. I will open a new topic if this seems to be an issue on the edge devices.

 

Thanks again!
