Explanation (BIG-IP default HTTP monitor behavior):

The default HTTP health monitor on BIG-IP sends an HTTP request (usually GET /) and expects a 200 OK response.

Any response other than 200 OK (such as 404 Not Found) is treated as a monitor failure.

Given results:

2 pool members return 404 Not Found → ❌ monitor fail → Offline

1 pool member returns 200 OK → ✅ monitor pass → Online

✅ Pool status result:
Two members offline and one member online

This is a classic F5 CAB1 / LTM health monitor question.

Explicación

El monitor http por defecto en BIG-IP:

Envía una solicitud HTTP GET /

Considera UP solo si la respuesta es 200 OK

Cualquier otro código (como 404 Not Found) se considera DOWN

En tu escenario:

2 pool members responden 404 Not Found → ❌ OFFLINE
1 pool member responde 200 OK → ✅ ONLINE
