Hi Trex,

 

 

what exactly is it you're trying to achieve?

 

 

You need a mechanism to pass pings through the LTM (as with all other traffic) such as a NAT or SNAT or VS.

 

 

If you let me know what you're trying to do (e.g. I want my backend servers on vlan 'internal' to be able to send pings out to the internet via VLAN 'external' for example) then I should be able to go into more specifics.

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Chris
