Test access sourcing from float

To test firewall rules we telnet to the pool member's service port, which proves access for the self IPs, but not for the float. Anyone know how to source from the float?

same result on v13.1, I'm going to end up believing that there's no way to test flows from floating IP 😳 (nc -s give the same bind failed).

Any others solutions ? @Andrew C. - F5 Support Engineer

It appears that we associate the non-floating self-ip to the VLAN despite the floating *also* using the same vlan.

 

The linux subsystem references TMM's VLANs as physical interfaces, non-floating IPs are assigned to the VLAN as you'll notice with "ifconfig".
