MVP,
Please find attached high level connectivity diagram for Routed mode.
Normally as you know that SNAT/Automap is enabled for avoiding asymmetric routing issues for application requests which are coming via F5. This is because, most of time backend web-server default gateway is set to Core Switch/Router but not-F5. With this SNAT, settings, actual client IP is not visible at web-server end. This is your current case.
Now in Routed mode, Web-Server gateway is pointed towards F5 IP address. And so Asymmetric routing issue will not come in this type of architecture as response to client request coming from F5 will go through F5 only. No need of enabling SNAT/Automap settings. In this case, actual client IP will be visible at web-server end. This is your requirement/use case.
In routed mode type architecture, you may need to add network & VLAN configuration on F5 for the web-server subnet.
Hope it helps you!
