Device in GSLB server should be load balancer/proxy node.And icmp/ping is usually blocked by firewalls by default so you need to ensure that F5's self ip, which is source of f5 health monitor traffic, can ping to the gslb device.

I can ping to the gslb device from the source of f5 health monitor successfully.

ping from command line uses management ip address instead of floating/self ip address.f5 health monitor comes from&nbsp;floating/self ip address.
