Unable to Ping Virtual Server IP but able to Ping Self IP

Hi,

 

I am failry new to F5 and running into an issue with the virtual version of F5 where I am not able to ping the Virtual Server IP (192.168.160.10) that I created but I am able to ping the F5's Self IP Eth 1.1 (192.168.160.1) from my PC. The managemnt GUI of the F5 is also accessible from my PC.

 

I created a VLAN 10 and this has interface 1.1 assigned to it.

 

The other interface Eth 1.2 I have not configured and it is currently still in the state of un-intialized.

 

I am able to ping the VIP I created from the F5's command line and I can ping the PC that I am trying to hit the VIP from.

 

Virtual Server IP -192.168.160.10

 

F5's Self IP 1.1 - 192.168.160.1

 

PC's IP - 192.168.150.2

 

Management IP of F5 192.168.150.1

 

I am also not able to telnet to the VIP on port 80.

  • Hi,

     

     

    Are you using a physical appliance or the virtual edition? Have you defined VLANs and self IP addresses using the admin GUI, bigpipe or tmsh? Is the virtual server IP, 192.168.160.1 enabled and is ARP enabled on the address?

     

     

    Can you post an anonymized copy of the following:

     

     

    b virtual VIP_NAME list

     

    b virtual VIP_NAME show

     

     

    b pool POOL_NAME list

     

    b pool POOL_NAME show

  • HI,

     

    Thanks for the response. Yes I am using the virtual edition. I configured the VLAN's and Self IP's using the GUI. The virtual servers IP is 192.168.160.10 and arp is enabled on this address. Here is a copy of the requested info:
