MAC-Masquerade on traffic-group

Team,

 

I have a question about mac-masquerade on traffic-group. I have a active/standby pair device with 2 VLAN and port-channel and we have assigned mac-masquerade to traffic group but when i am checking that mac address on next hop but i could not find. Could you please answer me how does it is different from VLAN mac-masquerade as we configured 2 MAC--masquerade in 2 different VLAN and we knew that it works very well as each vlan has different Mac-masquerade address but i didnot get in traffic-group concept.

    From the manual:

     

    A MAC masquerade address is a unique, floating Media Access Control (MAC) address that you create and control. 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 indirectly associate that address with any floating IP addresses (services) associated with that traffic group. With a MAC masquerade address per traffic group, a single VLAN can potentially carry traffic and services for multiple traffic groups, with each service having its own MAC masquerade address.

    Thanks Jason:)

     

    I go through same manual and find the mac-masquerade on the switch side.
