Making a default route is breaking my management auth

Hello,   I have TACACS configured for Configuration Utility/GUI access and it works.   My problem is, when i make a default route on the box network > routes:                 source: 0.0.0.0  ...

    Resolved my issue. I made management-routes but that wasn't populating in the kernel route table (route -n from bash)

     

    so i added the routes to my TACACs

     

    route add -net [network] netmask [mask] gw [gateway] metric 4096

     

    and that seems to have worked.

FrontmanFin creating and saving a management route via tmsh must create an entry in the netstat -nr routing table.

If this is not going to happen it should be related to a problem in the BIG-IP instance, so  I don't think you have solved the "real" problem.
