Self IP and laptop/switch IP on the same network?
Can you ping the self ip itself on the F5?
What if you take out the cable from the switch side and plug into the laptop - can you ping the self ip and vice versa?
- Muhammad_Irfan1Feb 05, 2015Cirrusyes self ip and switch ip are on the same network. Yes i can ping the self ip from inside the f5. I will answer your 3 question after checking. thanks sir for your reply.
- Muhammad_Irfan1Feb 05, 2015Cirrusping from laptop to F5 and from F5 to laptop is also not working.
- NikhilB_149913Feb 05, 2015Historic F5 AccountCheck to see if the interface is up: "tmsh show net interfaces" if not, can you try a different interface on the F5?
- Muhammad_Irfan1Feb 05, 2015Cirrusinterface is up. when i try pinging even statistics of interface show increased traffic but ping is failing.
- NikhilB_149913Feb 05, 2015Historic F5 AccountI would check the masks, duplex and basic network settings. If that is all fine, recommend taking a tcpdump of the traffic and deducing from there.
- Muhammad_Irfan1Feb 05, 2015Cirrusmask is correct, duplex is full. I have taken tcpdump it shows ping requests coming towards self ip but i am not seeing any response give back.
- Muhammad_Irfan1Feb 05, 2015CirrusIf i take out cable and put in laptop i can ping cisco switch it means cisco switch is fine If i put switch end in laptop and try to ping F5 self ip it fails and viseversa. Which means something not right in F5 what configuration it takes on F5 end? make a vlan, put one interface in it and select it as untagged. give a self ip and ping it from directly connected laptop. but its failing. ahhh please help.
