I have an un-routable IP assigned to a TMM interface and an routable IP assigned to a Mgmt Interface. Like everyone say i have two different routing table for management and for LTM traffic.

 

But NTP use the un-routable IP to reach the NTP Server.

 

So i need to define the NTP flux through the mgmt interface or an other interface with a Routed IP. So my question is how to configure NTP to specify this or this interface?

 

Thx to everybody who anwser

    You can't assign it an interface. It will use the most specific route. It will first look in the mgmt routing table then the TMM routing table.

    How i could do that? Because NTP don't provide this type of configuration ? With the command "net route ntp" ?

    If you want to use the mgmt interface you would create a route in the mgmt routing table using the article I originally posted above. tmsh create /sys management-route ntp network /255.255.255.255 gateway
