Virtual server not getting hits, irules not processed.

 

 

Hi

 

I have the following virtual servers:

 

 

 

VIRTUAL ip:port |---In----Out---Conn-|---In----Out---Conn-|-Nodes Up--

 

1.2.3.5:fud 0 0 0 0 0 0 16

 

none:webcache 0 0 0 0 0 0 16

 

none:https 0 0 0 0 0 0 16

 

none:http 0 0 0 0 0 0 16

 

none:imap 0 0 0 0 0 0 16

 

none:pop3 0 0 0 0 0 0 16

 

none:smtp 0 0 0 0 0 0 16

 

172.27.179.245:any 0 0 0 0 0 0 2

 

 

 

The 172.27.179.45 is not getting any hits at all even though a ping shows requests are coming in and the address is replying:

 

 

 

[root@cmansfieldf51102:Active] log tcpdump -i 0.0 host 172.27.179.245

 

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

 

listening on 0.0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 108 bytes

 

17:54:07.053422 IP 172.27.179.51 > 172.27.179.245: ICMP echo request, id 16, seq 0, length 44

 

17:54:07.053430 IP 172.27.179.245 > 172.27.179.51: ICMP echo reply, id 16, seq 0, length 44

 

 

 

 

I have this irule on the virtual server:

 

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

log local0. "The IP Protocol is [IP::protocol]"

 

}

 

 

 

 

But nothing is logged.

 

 

 

I have identical config on another F5 (except for IP addresses) and its working.

 

 

 

Also I noticed when the virtual server is defined with a network address:

 

 

 

172.27.179.240 / 255.255.255.248 it does not reply when it should do, only when its configured as a host virtual server it replies, but still bigtop reports no stats and the irules do not fire.

 

 

 

I tried exporting/importing the config and bigstart restart but no change.

 

 

 

Any ideas?
