LTM : virtual server in different subnet than a vlan --> possible

Hi everybody,

 

 

I'm not able to test it in short term so I'm wondering if the following design can work ?

 

 

I would like to know if the Virutal Server (VS) can be set in a subnet not known by the F5, I mean in a subnet not associated to a vlan. To be more clear, see the example below.

 

 

- create a vlan "link" + self-IP : 10.1.1.1/30 associated to the vlan "link". This "link" is used to connect the LTM to a router in the network. So a route to the LTM is possible through this vlan.

 

- create a VS : 192.168.1.1/32. As you can see this VS is not in the vlan previously defined. So it is a single IP only known internal to the LTM.

 

 

Could the design work ? Is it possible or must the VS in a defined vlan ?

 

 

If I configure a static route on the router saying that 192.168.1.1 can be reached by 10.1.1.1, could it work ? Does the LTM automatically consider the VS ?

 

 

Thank you in advance

 

 

best regards
