To monitor the network path through a member without monitoring the member itself, the 'Transparent' monitor option is appropriate. This option allows the LTM to check the network path (like a firewall or other intermediate device) by sending a health check through it to a final destination. If the path is operational but the final destination does not respond, the path is still considered as down, effectively monitoring the network path rather than the individual nodes.
A transparent health monitor forces the BIG-IP system to ping through a transparent network device with which it is associated (usually a firewall), to a destination device. This behavior allows the transparent device to be tested, and if there is no response from the destination device, the BIG-IP system marks the transparent device down
