Hi W60,

 

It's possible to connect to 2 separate and different network and not allow traffic to go through. The easiest way is use the LTMs packet filters or even irule that blocks any traffic from source to destination. Therefore not allowing traffic to traverse the F5 to reach the other side of the network. Other way is also fairly simple but less secure. I call this "Security by Ignorance" - simply no other routes to reach the other side of the network.

 

 

Thanks,
