Hi Andrew,

could be a Route Domain related problem. If you compare your listings with ours...

ltm virtual-address 172.21.17.210%1 {
    address 172.21.17.210%1
    mask 255.255.255.255
    traffic-group traffic-group-1
}

... you will see that our "address" does have a Route Domain suffix specified. Your "address" does not have a Route Domain, but your "virtual-address" name is including a %2 notation?

Cheers, Kai
