CirrusHow to configure networks on f5
I have F5 BIGIP VE 12.1.2
I am trying to use 192.168.60.2 as my management IP
If i configure 192.168.10.X a/ my management IP i can ping both the 192.168.70.0/24 and 192.168.60.0/24
However if i configure 192.168.60.X as my management ip I cannot ping anything but 192.168.60.X
Same goes for for the 192.168.70.X network
If i try to create a net route i get an error (why cause google told me to)
create net route 192.168.10.0/24 gw 192.168.10.1
Static route gateway 192.168.10.1 is not directly connected via an interface
Just for fun I set my management IP to 192.168.10.47 and ran the same command and got the same error
I have two nics eth0 and eth1
cat /etc/ethmap
eth0 11.22.33.44.55.66
eth1 22.55.88.44.55.66
The reason I have to use 192.168.60.X as my management IP is my webserver are on 192.168.10 and i cannot change them
How do i configure the f5 so I can talk to both the 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.60.0/24 networks

The F5 University has free videos that show you how to do this.

Not quite sure why you are using unix level commands to do this. This is a BIG-IP. It may be using CentOS but very little of the configuration is controlled by unix command set as it is heavily customized. The command you need to run from the command line is "config". This will enable you to setup management address and a default route for management. Then I suggest you use the "reboot" command to clear out any unix level changes you have made. If you made any changes to system files that are not in /config you should revert them as you will lose all of them when you upgrade the system.
