As far as the BIG-IP is concerned, you can monitor either the mgmt IP or the selfIP. It will respond on either interface. If you do a selfIP, make sure you set your port lockdown settings appropriately to allow the inbound SNMP requests. Also, make sure you set up the SNMP allow lists in the SNMP settings. I'm not familiar with Solarwinds, but if devices need to be defined in Solarwinds to allow sFlow in, then you'll want to use the non-floating selfip of BIG-IP
