Difference between LTM Mgmt IP and Self IP
Hi all, why are we able to configure the F5 LTM using either F5 Mgmt or Self-IP address ?
I understand the Mgmt IP is solely use to configure the F5 at the inital stage and then later I start to use the Self-IP Floating IP to do any further configuration to avoid making the changes on the inactive node. But does it matter if we configure the LTM on either Mgmt IP or Self-IP ?
To go deeper into Self-IP I read up the link below, but I still can't understand F5 Self-IP completely. I only can understand that it's used as a default route to my VIPs which are on a different VLAN. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-routing-administration-11-6-0/5.html
