Nimbostratusis the routing on the F5 the same as on a router ?
Hello,
I have an F5 and one of its interfaces is configured on a network e.g. 128.1.1.0 subnet 255.255.255.0.
On the same F5, I have another interface which is configured on the network 10.1.1.0...

NoctilucentIs this feasible or the F5 will act like a router and forward the packet internally to the other interface ?

NimbostratusHello Nitass,
The question I have asked is not treated by the SOL described.
On a PC with two adapter (OS is unix), I configure two different subnets i.e. two networks. Also these two interfaces (adapters on the PC) I connect them to a firewall who has rules that allows communication between the two subnets. I want to connect from one subnet to the other. Thus I can communicate from one subnet to the other one Either internally or via the Firewall (longer path). My packets will always STAY within the PC and never travel from the one subnet to the other via the firewall. Basic routing rules. Is the same functionality inherent on the F5 ?
That's why I am asking if the F5 is an expensive for of a router.
