can someone help me with the gateway or route of F5

i have an active/standby F5,and the F5 is running well, and i found that my F5 have no gateway or route,but i can connect to the F5 from the ip from other vlans.

 

my F5 have 3 vlans ,and all vlans are Tagged with the same trunk

 

my F5 manager IP : 10.9.248.162 /255.255.255.192

 

and the self IP:

 

10.9.248.56 / 255.255.255.192

 

10.9.248.96 / 255.255.255.192

 

10.9.249.187 /255.255.255.224

 

the route is:

 

[root@ltm-2:Active] config route

 

Kernel IP routing table

1.1.1.0 * 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 HA

My client ip is 10.0.210.9,and i can manager the F5 with both the web console and the ssh,

 

and i can find the connection of my ip in ssh of F5

 

[root@ltm-2:Active] config netstat -an | grep 10.0.210

 

tcp 0 0 ::ffff:10.9.248.161:443 ::ffff:10.0.210.9:2441 TIME_WAIT

 

tcp 0 52 ::ffff:10.9.248.161:22 ::ffff:10.0.210.9:2398 ESTABLISHED

 

tcp 0 0 ::ffff:10.9.248.161:443 ::ffff:10.0.210.9:2420 TIME_WAIT

 

i can not ping 10.0.210.9 in ssh of F5, i can not ping other ip of other vlans in ssh of F5

 

[root@ltm-2:Active] config ping 10.0.210.9

 

connect: Network is unreachable

 

[root@ltm-2:Active] config ping 10.9.249.5

 

connect: Network is unreachable

 

to my opinion , my f5 doesnot set the gateway or route,so it can not ping other vlans,but from my client ip 10.0.210.9,

 

why it can connect to the F5?

 

at present, my F5 can work sueecssfully,does it has some latent dangerous?

 

thank you very much.

    why it can connect to the F5?i understand it is done by auto last hop.
