Thanks a lot for your answer.

 

 

I made more tests. Now, I can get snmp response from the self IP but only if I am in the same subnet as the self IP.

 

The cacti server is in another subnet and it seems that BigIP doesn't know how to route snmp responses back to the cacti server. We only use forwarding VS with this BigIP. Anybody has got experience using both routes and Forwarding VS ?
