what is the use of floating IP and where does it use.

Hi vj_singh,

 

multiple reasons for being careful:

 

1. The floating self IP address may be used as a listener object on GTM.

 

2. The floating self IP may be used for SNAT AutoMap (and especially since v11 it´s highly recommended to have a floating self IP (belonging to a traffic-group) available.

 

3. The floating self IP may be used as next hop gateway for your environmental components.

 

4. The floating self IP may be monitored to check BIG-IP cluster availability.

 

If none of these conditions apply, I don´t see a reason to keep it.

 

Thanks, Stephan
