Why be configure the MAC masquerade?
To optimize the flow of traffic during failover events, you can configure MAC masquerade addresses for any defined traffic groups on the BIG-IP system. A MAC masquerade address is a unique, floating MAC address that you create. You can assign one MAC masquerade address to each traffic group on a BIG-IP device. By assigning a MAC masquerade address to a traffic group, you associate that address with any floating IP addresses associated with the traffic group. By configuring a MAC masquerade address for each traffic group, a single Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) can potentially carry traffic and services for multiple traffic groups, with each service having its own MAC masquerade address.

i loose my connectivity after i manually configure a random 'MAC Masquerade Address' on the traffic-group-1
After i remove the manually configured 'MAC Masquerade Address' on the traffic-group-1 end-to-end traffic resumes again.
Why is that?
