    Your F5 BIG-IP is in a forced offline state. So no health checks 😉

    In BIG-IP 11.5.3, 11.6.0 HF6, 12.0.0 and later, the bigd process does not send monitor traffic to pool members and nodes when the system is offline and does not update the state of the monitored objects. This results in the following behavior:

    • When the BIG-IP system starts with Force Offline enabled, monitored nodes and pool members are initially marked Unchecked, then remain Unchecked until Force Offline is released.

Hi whisperer how r u?

 

we have a solution active-standby for 2 device 

we need relicenced both devices.

into the process, turn off the device standby of cluster. 
After we turn on active the standby device and relicence the active device.
after relicenced the active device.

In this process, we see down about 250 virtual server down with the message into the pool with :" Node address service checking is enabled, but result is not available yet"

is this normal? 

the MAC masquerade solution this?

I was confused with the explanation, I leave a photo so that it is better understood
