using TCPDUMP to see the selected node

[Carl_rag]

How can I use TCPDUMP to see which node from a pool F5 selects after it receives traffic to a virtual server?

tcpdump -i 0.0:p host 10.20.1.1 -w /var/tmp/tcpdumps1.pcap

Use the above command. 😛 indicates peer side. In the above statement, IP address 10.20.1.1 is the Client ip address. Wireshark output will show which node it has selected from Pool.
