So in the common partition I have a self IP and a default route for that partition for example:
the subnet is 192.168.1.1/24
the self IP is 192.168.1.250
and the route configured is 0.0.0.0/0 for destination and net mask to gateway 192.168.1.1
Now the DMZ partition has a subnet of:
172.16.1.0/24
The self IP is 172.16.1.250
But I cant configure a deafult route on the common partition so I configured a route in the DMZ partition with the same as above but with the gateway as 172.16.1.1
When I try to telnet from the F5 to the public nat IP of the DMZ partition the the firewall says the source IP is 192.168.1.250 and the destination is the private IP of the Public NAT and the telnet works.
However when I attempt to to telnet to the Public IP from my PC the firewall says the destination is the public ip and telnet fails.
Does that make things clearer?
