Based on what F5 chooses a self-ip (floating or not-floating) for backend connections?
Hello all, I have this question since a while now and maybe it is the time to have this answer :) I am going to migrate the box into a new logic and more clear architecture and there is a step during my migration plan where maybe it would save me time.
I did a test by creating a new empty traffic-group (let's call "Traffic-Group-N") and I put on it a VIP object. There is not self-ip on this Traffic-Group-N and I see that the BIG-IP chose a self-ip "traffic-group-local-only" on the same vlan of the backend server.
Based on which criterias the BIG-IP chooses a self-ip for backend connections? I have 29 Self-IPs.
Thank you.
