Fail to ping virtual server

I have LTM 11.3 set up. I added a vlan and a self ip successfully. Then I created a virtual server of type performance(layer 4) and set the destination the same as the self ip, all the settings are by default except that I enabled vLan and assigned the vLan I created before. The virtual server stays at Unknown status and the nodes are down. I fail ping the virtual server / self ip from other machines in the same network.

 

Is there anything I do wrong?

    have you seen icmp when running tcpdump on bigip?

     tcpdump -nni 0.0 host x.x.x.x and icmp
x.x.x.x is self ip / virtual server ip

      The result is: listening on 0.0, link-type EN10MB（Ethernet）, capture size 96bytes ^C 0 packets captured 0 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel

      then nothing is even reaching the VS, are you connecting all devices to same switch,vlan.etc?
