Hi , I am idle and beginning to start configure F5 2000 series. I having problem where pool member are down. may need your opinion and suggestion where I have miss out or wrong config. FYI, I have done below setting : 1.) created 2 nodes , 1 pool and 1 Virtual server IP. 2.) untagged 8 ports within same vlan1. ping from node to node is successful. 3.) Successful Access GUI via Mgmt port. Different range IP with vlan1

    Add on here, health monitor is http 1.) I had to create a custom monitor with 'GET /\r\n\r\n' as send string. 2.) Change to gateway_icmp monitor. 3.) Nodes are the computer , but I have configure the nodes as IIS . same issue occurred.

    Hello Woh,

     

    If the "Status indicator" is red for the pool and you have the message "Offline (Enabled) - The children pool member(s) are down" this means that the pool member is unavailable because either :

     

    1) the node is down

     

    2) A monitor has marked the pool member as down
