what is the MAC address of a floating IP Address in f5 11.3.0 TMOS ADVERTISES TO NEXT HOP

Should be the Mac address of the physical interface on that vlan.

^No, its not. Anyone knows the answer to this. Where in the F5 config can i find this mac? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

If you have mac-masquerade configured, it will use the mac assigned to the floating self-IP's traffic group:

tmsh list cm traffic-group traffic-group-1 mac

Otherwise, it should take on the mac-address associated with its vlan:

tmsh show net self (name of floating-ip)

If neither of those work for you, go to a device in the same subnet as the floating self-IP (such as the standby F5 if you have an HA pair), ping the floating IP, and look at your ARP table. F5 commands for those tasks:

tmsh run util ping (floating-ip)

tmsh show net arp | grep (floating-ip)

Are you using Mac Masquerade? If so, then whatever is set, will be the mac advertised. If not, it would be the lowest-numbered interface associated with the vlan.
