Hi, We are going to introduce another floating self ips in one of the interface in the existing prod LTM. The Existing floating ip used to connect the pool members .So my question is,when we introduce another floating ip what will be the behavior with respect to server side communication.Does it use both floating ips to communicate to the servers or only the first one we created.

LTM

    The excerpt below is from the following knowledge base article:

    If multiple floating self IP addresses are configured on the VLAN, the BIG-IP system translates the address of client connections by alternating through a pool of all floating self IPs on the VLAN.
