providing 2 default routes on the F5 LTM.
Folks,
One of those basic questions. ;)
We have an existing F5 LTM which is running VIP's on a dedicated network segment. Let's take the segment as 1.1.1.0/24.
We have a self-IP configured on this F5 from 1.1.1.0/24 and allocated one interface for the VIP.
Further, we added a default route on the F5 and pointed it to the network switch hosting the gateway for 1.1.1.0/24 network.
One additional requirement has come up by our internal teams that they want few more VIP's to be hosted on this F5.
The VIP's would reside on another network segment i.e. 2.2.2.0/24.
Can I use another interface on the F5 and assign it an IP in the 2.2.2.0/24 segment?
Once done add another default route on the F5 pointing it to the network switch hosting the gateway for 2.2.2.0/24 network?
With this setup can there be any asymmetric routing?
Typically any network device will exit traffic out of the same interface it received the traffic.
I just want to be sure on the F5 side as well.
Thanks!!
