if the F5 is on a different subnet then your management interface must have a gateway to use it, to reach the Solarwinds server.

Seems to me that is a routing/design issue.

I still don't understand what design it is that you can not ping from F5 to Solarwinds.

mihaichopefully this image sheds some light on how the topology is configured. The subnets are not the same for obvious reasons but the general layout is the same. You will notice that routes are indeed in place on the F5. I would like to note that ICMP functions between Solarwinds and the F5 even though that isn't the best of tests but a tcpdump on the F5 does confirm that traffic is coming in and leaving the same interface for ICMP traffic so it should do the same for SNMP.
