    Create a default route: Network > Routes Add. If the destination network is not part of the F5 configured networks, then the traffic is sent to the default gateway.

     

  • Thanks for the reply i need to ask here one thing in this case what about the Route Domain specific Default Gateway if I want to define that how will it be done.

    Instead of making the Destination and Netmask 0.0.0.0 you would specific the Destination and Netmask settings when you create the route. I.E. Destination: 192.168.2.0 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway Address 192.168.2.1

      If you want a default route for route domain 1, do the following 0.0.0.0%1/0.0.0.0 gateway 10.10.10.10%1 Obviously gateway needs to be something in that route domain. Ensure that your self IPs in that route domain have %1 also
  • and what about the default route in this case 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 ???

  • You have to add the route domain ID to the end of the default route to add a second gateway.

     

    Route:0.0.0.0%2 (assuming route domain ID is 2) Netmask:0.0.0.0 Gateway:10.0.0.1%2

     

    Also the IP of the system must be appended with the route domain ID.

     

  • This is how we've done route domain default routes.

     

    destination: 0.0.0.0%X Netmask: 0.0.0.0 Gateway: 10.0.0.1%X X is the route domain ID.
