v.10 Node Management

Hello I have a LTM with several internal node VLANS.

 

One of the is network 192.168.94.0/24

 

The external interface has 192.168.91.0/24

 

The LTM's default route is 192.168.91.254 (HSRP). When I try to route traffic from the own BIG-IP the traffic is routed without problems.

 

But, when I try to access the physical address of one node (192.168.94.14) or I try to send traffic messages from the node, I see that traffic gets to the LTM, but it isn't routed outside it.

 

I've tried with the LTM's real address and with a floating one as default router for the node.

 

What do I have to do to make the F5 behave as a router. Do I have to create a 0.0.0.0 vserver on every VLAN?

 

I'm using version 10.0.0.1

 

Thank you

    The LTM is a default-deny device, so you'll need to create a virtual for any traffic you wish to traverse the box. In v4, there was a global enable IP routing checkbox. In v9 forward, you can achieve this with a 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 virtual server enabled on all vlans. Note that the routes still need to be in place in the routing table, the virtual server just allows the traffic to flow IF a route is present.
