My management network is 10.65.1.0.

 

I tried the commands you suggested and when I listed the sys management-route it says:

 

sys management-route MGMT { gateway 10.65.1.1 network 10.65.1.0/24 } sys management-route default { description configured-statically gateway 10.65.1.1 network default

 

The top one I configured and the bottom one was already there.

    Hi, I guess your syslog server is not locally attached. Thats why a specific route is required. Unfortunately the host management subsystem is not completely separated from the TMOS interfaces. So the default route of TMOS will probably be higher prioritized than the default route you specified for management. A host route to the syslog server solves the problem as it will be more specific. Assuming your syslog server is hosted on 10.201.201.201 a host route will look like this: tmsh create sys management-route route_syslog_host_mgmt network 10.201.201.201/32 gateway 10.65.1.1
