F5 LTM Default Gateway operation
I am a novice when it comes to F5. So this may be a very basic question. We have an F5 LTM 3600 (11.6.0) that is acting as a default gateway for one subnet (192.168.0.0/24). Devices on this subnet appear to be able to hit just about any resource on our network. But when I look at our Cisco devices there is no route to this network anywhere. So I am unable to ping that particular network from our LAN. The reason I am looking into this is that this subnet cannot hit a device on our DMZ. So I am trying to determine how this subnet is able to communicate with other subnets on my LAN when there is no route. Does the F5 mask the actual IP address(i.e. 192.168.0.20/24) with a routable IP address? Any help to understand how this solution operates would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need additional info.

Hello,
Yes, F5 can handle this. You need to check if there is some forwarding Virtual Server or if there is SNAT features activated within your Virtual servers.
