I have GTM used to create www.myapp.com as wideip. This will be pointed to the LTM created in route domain 2.

 

But in the F5 documentation it says 'For systems that include both BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) and BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager (GTM), you can configure route domains on internal interfaces only.'

 

What does it mean? Can't we have VIP configured with route domain 2 and add to GTM wide ip pool?

    Bear in mind that the GTM is handing out IP addresses to DNS resolvers which won't know anything about your route domains. So it doesn't make sense to have a route domain on a GMT object.

    Well as per my understanding we can create two separate route Domain One for F5 AFM and another for F5 GTM and % can be used to determine the particular route domain and separate the traffic.
