Ftp for backup

Hello,

 

 

Is there a way to force the ftp cli command to use the management interface instead of the bigip self ip address?.

 

 

I need this because I want to make ftp from bigip to backup server and i do not want to use the production interface for backup purposes.

 

 

 

Thank you very much,

 

 

 

Miguel.

    You can put a management route in for the backup server: 

     
 b mgmt route  netmask 255.255.255.255 gateway  
  
 b base save

    but you don't want to do this if that backup server is used for other traffic in your LTM config, because everything to that server will then use the mgmt interface. I don't think there's a way to do this with just the ftp command.
