NimbostratusLTM 11.2 Route Domains
I am trying to set up a second route domain on Big-IP 11.2. The reason I am setting it up is because the Big-IP has 2 self-IPs, and I want some traffic to source from self-IP 1 and some from self-IP 2. I created the route domain, added IP 2 to the domain, added the VLAN to the new domain, and created a default route for the new route domain. But I can't get traffic to source from IP 2. I'm testing by doing pings and telnets to a pool member in the new route domain and watching the traffic. Any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong?

jorgeborges_184I should also mention that both route domains are in the "common" partition.

Testing using telnet/ping won't send traffic out of another route domain by default.
when you ssh into the F5 you go in to route domain 0, in order to test connectivity from another route domain, you need to use the rdsh command.
example:
rdsh 2 ping 8.8.8.8This will send pings to 8.8.8.8 out of the interfaces assigned to route domain 2.
you do however need to make sure that routing is setup correctly for that route domain.
If you need help setting up routes for route domains let me know, we've run them for years without any issues

I've already tested with the rdsd command, the pings still source from the wrong IP.

Thanks for the help - I just figured out my problem. The route statement's gateway didn't have the "%1" after it.
