SOL6459 goes over some examples of virtual server precedence:

 

 

SOL6459: Change in Behavior: Order of precedence for virtual server matching

A virtual server must be unique across four properties: IP address, port, protocol and VLAN. So you couldn't configure two virtual servers with identical destinations using the same protocol on the same VLAN. You should get an error when trying to configure a Perf Layer4 VS if you already have a Forwarding IP VIP configured on the same destination network/subnet and VLAN.

 

 

I was able to test and create a Forwarding (Layer 2) VS and Performance (Layer 4) VS on the same destination network/subnet. I didn't expect this to work. Anyone know why this is possible?

 

 

Thanks,
