VIP Bounce - I am facing a Show stopper

Kevin,

Clients are in different segment (172.16.11.x/12.x/13.x etc)

Servers are in (172.16.4.x and on VLAN 4) , VIP is also in (172.16.4.x same VLAN) . Customer dont wanted to change the gateway of servers while introducing the F5 box , that is the reason being designed in this one arm mode and they are not ready to introduce a new network for the VIP range and hence the servers and VIP are in the same network.

from the F5 box , i am able to reach the servers which are in 172.16.4.x network how ever i am not able to reach the gateway 172.16.4.1 until and unless i add a static arp entry.

is LACP compulsory if i use trunking on f5 ?

1) Configuration is attached herewith.

2) ARP entries are correct and has been verfied.

3) No irules it is very basic config. Since i am not able to proceed with minor load balancing configuration ,i am not in a position to proceed with anything.
