F5 BIG-IP LTM pool no outbound traffic

Hello, I am trying to setup a new virtual server (port 80) on F5 BIG-IP. I can ping the VIP and all its member IP. I can ping to the self IP of the F5 from the member server. Service is http and it's running normaly when I'm accessing the server directly, but it gave me a blank page if I access it using the VIP.

 

When I check the pool statistics, it shows bits & packet IN but no bits & packets OUT. I am totally new into this BIG-IP thing, can someone please guide me as clear as possible of what I should do to get this working?

 

Thanks in advance :)

      in virtual server properties, configure source address translation to automap.

    dear all,

     

    thank you for your effort to help, but I managed to solve it. I dont know why but creating another self IP in same VLAN and check the floating IP options is what makes the magic possible :) I thought floating IP is used for failover between 2 BIG-IP (in my place we only use 1 BIG-IP), can someone explain about this?
