object listener (i.e. virtual server, snat, nat) is required to pass traffic from one vlan to another. if you do not want to use virtual server, you may use snat. anyway, why not virtual server?

Thanks of reply, Is there any other way without configuring a VIP, physial External client ( External vlan)can ping to Physical Server on Internal Vlan.
- Kevin_StewartEmployee
If not a VIP, then a NAT is really the only other way. Otherwise you'd need to route around the BIG-IP.

Arun, note that a Virtual Server and VIP are not the same thing. You can define a Forwarding Virtual Server representing the whole internal network range you want to have reachable.
Of course, just like a router, the host you are pinging from (or its gateway) will need to have the BIG-IP's Self IP as its route for that internal network.
