It's considered one transaction because the TMM is the one dumping the log to the wire if you configure iRules to send the log directly. If you think about it that way, it makes total sense, I think.

 

 

If iRules is the one sending the log info, then TMM is the one truly doing the sending, not the "system", so no management interface. If you log to syslog and then allow it to process the log for external consumption, then it's truly outbound administrative via the system, and can therefore access the mgmt interface.
