After assigning a static route to a node on a specific VLAN, ARPs are no longer generated, and all traffic to the node uses a broadcast (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) MAC.
This can cause the monitors to fail and the poolmember/node to be marked down.
Static VLAN route to a poolmember/node with a /32 mask.
Use a non /32 mask or use a gateway route instead.
The BIG-IP system now correctly uses ARP to determine the destination MAC of a host routed via a /32 vlan route.
