F5 LTM creating VLANs etc

I have a VLAN SVI (VLAN5) on our cores. I created another VLAN (VLAN6) in the database which will be the virtual servers for VLAN5.   So basically users can hit the IP from VLAN6 which then will ...

not sure if i understand correctly. you are saying that (1) client is coming from vlan250, (2) virtual server ip is not in vlan250 subnet (but listening on vlan250) and (3) server is in vlan5 (but vlan5 is not in bigip), aren't you?

 

 

so, how can bigip reach the server in vlan5 e.g. route through vlan250?

 

 

(1) client is coming from vlan250

 

*** No VLAN250 has the SVI on the cores and I have it setup on the F5 LTM as well. Clients are on a totally different VLAN.

 

So Core Switch: 10.1.250.1 (svi)

 

F5: 10.1.250.241 (floating IP)

 

(2) virtual server ip is not in vlan250 subnet (but listening on vlan250)

 

*** Virtual Server IP is just another network I picked 10.1.6.0/24 as it was mentioned above that I do not need a VLAN for it. I just created a route on the cores to get to 10.1.6.0/24

 

"ip route 10.1.6.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.250.241"

 

(3) server is in vlan5 (but vlan5 is not in bigip)

 

*** VLAN5 has all the servers in it. And no I did not setup VLAN 5 on the F5 LTM, just the nodes.
