- On the menu bar, clickVirtual Address List.This displays the list of virtual addresses.
- Click the name of the virtual server you want to configure.
- Click the name of the virtual server you want to enable.
- In the Name column, locate the relevant virtual address and in the State column, view its state.

- From theTraffic Grouplist, select the traffic group that you created on this device, that is, the traffic group that contains the floating self IP address of this (local) device.Once this device is processing traffic, if the specified traffic group fails over to another device, traffic destined for this device will target the newly-active device.
- Ensure that theTraffic Grouplist is set totraffic-group-1.traffic-group-1is the default floating traffic group on the system.
- Select theSpanningcheck box.This setting adds this floating virtual address to all floating traffic groups in the device group, ensuring that all devices in the device group can receive traffic from the ECMP-enabled upstream router.
- For theRoute Advertisementsetting, select the check box.When you enable this setting, the BIG-IP system advertises a route to this virtual address for other routers to use for forwarding traffic to this device.
- Clear theARPcheck box.This disables the Advanced Resolution Protocol (ARP).
