NimbostratusUsing the F5 as a L2 pass-thru or as a L3?
Curious to hear the opinions of using the F5 as a Layer 2 pass thru instead of using it as a dedicated Layer 3 device. Networks and LTMs should be fast enough to pass through the traffic without any...

NimbostratusOur network infrastructure utilizes L3 interfaces in 3 different methods:
1. L3 interface on the ASA (Vlan X)
2. L3 interface as an SVI on a distribution switch (Vlan Y)
3. L3 interface (self-IP/ Vlan Z) on the LTM (which was the de facto standard for use of LTMs awhile back...)
My intent/goal is to remove all L3/vlan interfaces off of the LTM and migrate them to the ASA. (Layer 2 pass thru routing). I wanted to inquire if anyone has performed this method? Or are there any caveats to this architecture design?
Thank you for inquiring further and I hope this new info will keep the dialogue going...
