You said you can ping the host servers from the switch. So there is an SVI defined on the switch. Can you ping this SVI from the LTM?
- ATS-James_14803Mar 19, 2014NimbostratusNo I can not ping the SVI from the LTM. I receive Destination host unreachable.

The interface that connects to the Cisco switch is showing up on the LTM and the Cisco switch. The Cisco switch port is set to access mode, and on the same vlan that your LTM interface is on. If all of these things are true, then you should be able to ping. If not, one of these things has to be incorrect.
- ATS-James_14803Mar 19, 2014NimbostratusI think I found my issue. The Cisco switch has a default configuration, all ports are in VLAN1. When I configure the LTM connected port as a trunk and configure the server port as an access port in VLAN2 then they communicate. This is with the LTM interface tagged and untagged. Is there a way to configure the LTM to communicate with the Cisco switch with all ports on the Cisco in the default VLAN1? Or do I need to configure VLANs on the Cisco switch? I think Cisco treats tagged and untagged differently from other industry switches.
