BigIP 3600 with GTM/LTM modules and 2 route domains

Hi All

 

 

I am trying to setup the BigIP3600 with GTM/LTM module.

 

 

I am configuring additional route domain 1 using common partition with external and internal vlans allocated to route domain 1.

 

 

When I try to add LTM in GTM, only route domain 0 LTM status is green and the other one in route domain 1 status is blue with still checking health status.

 

 

Network configuration is very simple as follow.

 

 

Route Domain 0:

 

 

interface 1.1 - vlan 10 - external

 

interface 1.2 - vlan 20 - internal

 

 

Route Domain 1:

 

 

interface 1.3 - vlan 30 - external

 

interface 1.4 - vlan 40 - internal

 

 

I have been combing the F5 KB and come across this statement.

 

 

"F5 Networks does not support the configuration of route domains on a standalone BIG-IP GTM."

 

 

Does standalone referring to 1 single bigip device or standalone configuration with no redundancy? I am suspecting the later case.

 

 

I hope anyone with the combo module can share the experience in setting things up.

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

Regards

 

Joe

    Hi All

     

     

    I managed to solve it by myself. After following through the sol13690: Troubleshooting BIG-IP GTM synchronization and iQuery connections, I found out that big3d version in /shared/bin is different from /usr/sbin/big3d.

     

     

    After copy over and restart the big3d, things are working perfect.

     

     

    bigstart stop big3d && cp -a $(which big3d) /shared/bin/ && bigstart start big3d

     

     

    The box came with 2 flavor, v.10.2.4 and 11.1.

     

     

    Hope it might be useful for others when face similar problem.

     

     

    Cheers!
