Routing application traffic through management interface
- Feb 12, 2020
Hi dude,
The out-of-band mgmt interface has a real benefits, especially for security and when you face issues on BIG-IP data plane controller.
But sometimes, infrastructure limits and force us to adapt on it.
In some cases, I used to set an "mgmt" address on traffic interfaces due to a mgmt network absent. So, I left the mgmt port/vlan unplugged from network cable or vlan,
I put a dummy/or default ip address to it, and then I created a selfip with default services allowed to manage that from traffic interface.
In your case, I think is better to route traffic through firewall and keep all things working as default as you can't change de server addresses or mgmt network range.
It's just a little case opinion.
Kind regards.
