How does F5 LTM route traffic to a subnet it's not aware of
I have the below setup, A VIP is configured with IP 192.168.0.3 for telnet service with snat automap to loadbalance all connections to 192.168.1.2.
PC1 (10.0.0.2/24) <--> (10.0.0.1/24) RTR1 (192.168.0.1/24) <--> (192.168.0.2/24) F5 LTM(192.168.1.2/24) <---> (192.168.1.1/24)Server1
There is not default route configured on the LTM.
When i initiate a telnet to 192.168.0.3 from PC1 ( 10.0.0.2), it works and I just don't know how it does ? without proper routing configured on the F5 - Can someone help me to understand how F5 is returning traffic 10.0.0.2 ?
Thanks,
Viks
