Hi,

You concept is wrong, let me explain.

On your lab Ve you have only one interface/vlan configured:

  • self IP: 192.168.1.2

So if you want to reach 192.168.1.2:

  • client will asked (ARP) how is 192.168.1.2
  • you will obtain an arp response from F5/routeur linked to F5 a response.

So now if you want to reach 192.168.2.10, you will inevitably have a problem. the first one and a route problem. you have a network problem and not a configuration problem. you need an interface in this VLAN

Routeur linked to client will route user to vlan 192.168.2.10, but F5 is not linked to this vlan, (There is no IP in this VLAN) so it can answer.

You need to create a second self ip 192.168.2.xxx
to serve the VIP of this vlan on f5

And your VIP will work.

let me know if you need more details.

regards,
