I am trying to implement this based off the GTM/APM use case article but have some questions:

 

  1. For the SNMP monitor- what would be the alias address? Would it be the floating external or internal IP running in an HA environment? Or would it be the external or internal self IP still?
  2. For the Pool, what IP should go in the pool as the member? I know it says it doesnt matter but when i added an IP it was showing as down. And is that ok if it does? And does the service port matter at all if the pool address really doesnt matter.
  3. I the vs http client and server profile and added the irule resource but it is showing offline (Enabled)
