Virtual Server and ICMP/PING
Hello,
I was pre-configuring a couple of virtual servers in advance of a migration from our Cisco ACE 4710's to our new F5 4200Vs when I discovered that even if I mark the virtual server as "disabled" it still responds to pings on that IP address. I had to delete them (and kill the arp cache on one of our switches) to restore functionality for the vips on the ACE. Is there a way to disable ICMP/PING responses for a virtual server when it is marked as "disabled"? Thanks.
navigate to local traffic | virtual servers | virtual address list. each virtual address has an arp and echo-reply setting - disable both.
virtual servers are IP:Port, so disabling a VS alone does nothing to VIP availability since other VS configs could be using that same VIP
