Hi,

 

The Cisco context is done by multiple features in F5:

 

  • Route Domains to define a independent routing table (with assigned VLANs)
  • Partitions to allow administrators to manage only some parts of configuration.

In your configuration, you can define following configuration

 

  • Prod Route domain defined as default route domain of Prod Partition and assigned Prod VLANs
  • Dev Route domain defined as default route domain of Dev Partition and assigned Dev VLANs
  • UAT Route domain defined as default route domain of UAT Partition and assigned UAT VLANs
