NimbostratusNo, access routers connected to the edge, and the servers are in different subnet.
I have 1000s of F5s in our network that are setup in bridge mode, with the overall physical connectivity being as shown above.
The standby F5 is connected to as below:

I m seeking to understand how F5 works and behaves in bridge mode, need your help to understand.
In our network, i see that in bridge mode there are 5 VLANs on the F5 pair,and each in different, 172.20.30.x/24;172.20.40.x/24;172.20.50.x/24;172.20.60.x/24;172.20.70.x/24;
and there are more 10 Virtual servers and equal number of pools.
Each virtual server has the VIP on above five ranges, pools are associated with Virtual servers.
Can you please explain, how inbound and outbound traffic gets processed by F5 in bridge mode with above number of VLANs?
