NimbostratusThank you for the response.
Just to clarify, I'm aware of where the route and DNS configurations are located in the F5 UI; that part isn’t the issue. My question is more about understanding why a route configuration is required specifically for the WAF setup in this scenario. The DNS and NTP settings are configured and operational, so I’m unclear on the necessity for a route here or what exactly it should accomplish in the context of WAF configuration.
Additionally, any guidance on what the route should entail or if there’s a way to bypass this requirement would be greatly appreciated. My primary goal is to ensure WAF is set up and functional without any unnecessary configurations, if possible.
Thanks for any insights you can share!

Nacreousthe route that you configure when setting the management ip address is routing config for control plane.
meanwhile, the route in above gui is routing config for data plane, in which client side and server traffic will reside.
