    I know you are following F5 Articles ,  add specific route in F5 it self such as below : 

    > add this Route as a Specific , not as a default route on F5.
    > Also Make sure with the Connectivity between traffic subnet "10.20.10.0" and Management subnet "10.20.54.0"
    > you are adding default Route and at the same time F5 see real server directly connected with it through managment vlan , So F5 prefer Management Network over TMM. 

    > Add this Specific Route and Put this Command 
    #ip route get 10.20.54.2 
    you should see this real server ip by self address from "10.20.10.0" TMM subnet.
