I would like to understand why the BigIP LTM is still responding to ICMP Ping and TCP when the Virtual Server is down?about 3 way handshake, it depends on what virtual server type you are using. i understand you are using standard virtual server type.

there is "verified accept" setting in tcp profile. you may try to see if it is usable but it is not compatible with L7 feature (e.g. iRule).
