F5 and its gateway
Thanks very much. I found default gateway ip address in my F5. Please see below. The question is I did not add the Gateway Address on this page, can you tell which step I did to have the ip address 10.0.30.254 over there?

So when you config your device for the first time using the "config" command on the console.
You can or do put a default route in.
I'm just not sure that feeds through into tmm so you see that.
Having said that I'm on u14 so that might be different in different versions.

Hi PSFletchTheTek ,
The Cli or Consol first time when issuing ( config ) command , its to configure management interface.
By using " Config " Command on bash , you give an ip address for management interface , and the default route is configured with an ip from the management subnet and we can say that is the default gateway for management traffic not real or data traffic.
Also , Management traffic is an adminstrative traffic which handled or processed by Control plan , not like real traffic or data traffic which processed by tmm or data plan.

Hi davidy2001 ,
This Configuration Page Related to adding specific routes , and option Gateway here means it is the "next hop" interface.
we add this next hope with all vendors when we create a static routes.
This not the Default Gateway of F5 , or it is not the same meaning such as " servers , PCs ... )
- you Can add hundreds of static routes with different Gateways " Next hops" , I mean the next hop here controls the flow or traffic vectors.
I hope this help you.
