Virtual Server type forwarding layer 2
Simple analogy of L2 VS I can put is-
For situations where a proxy should be used to bridge two different Ethernet collision domains, a layer 2 forwarding virtual service an be used. It can be provisioned to be an opaque, semi-opaque, or transparent bridge. Bridging two Ethernet domains is like an old timey water brigade. One guy fills a bucket of water (the client) and hands it to the next guy (the proxy) who hands it to the destination (the server/service) where it's thrown on the fire. The guy in the middle (the proxy) just bridges the gap (you're thinking what I'm thinking - that's where the term came from, right?) between the two Ethernet domains (networks).
The virtual server shares the same IP address as a node in an associated VLAN.
Did you configured the FastL4 profile to your (fwd L2) virtual server?
