So my doubt here is the monitoring will be done via the self IP of Vlan for which I have declared the default route.

Is there a concept of multiple default gateway , i tried to add the default gateway in a pool and then point the same through the default route but I am confused how does the tmm decides which Self IP will be communicating to the backend pool members for monitoring purpose

    Hi Shripaty, There are separate routes - you specify the destination and the gateway. However, this can lead to a large number of complex routes which are difficult to manage, so you can use dynamic routing such as ospf which will manage those routes. Or you can use a default route and send traffic through one vlan. If you want to have separate default gateways then you can put the nodes into different route domains and have a different default route per route domain.
