Configuring the BIG-IP system to log to the remote syslog server using TCP protocol Impact of procedure: Performing the following procedure should not have a negative impact on your system.

 

1.Log in to tmsh by typing the following command: tmsh

 

2.To log to the remote syslog server using the TCP protocol, use the following command syntax:

 

modify /sys syslog include "destination remote_server {tcp(\"\" port (514));};filter f_alllogs {level (debug...emerg);};log source(local);filter(f_alllogs);destination(remote_server);};"

 

 

For example, to log to the remote syslog server 172.28.68.42, type the following command:

 

modify /sys syslog include "destination remote_server {tcp(\"172.28.68.42/" port (514));};filter f_alllogs {level (debug...emerg);};log {source(local);filter(f_alllogs);destination(remote_server);};"

    Hello,

    For your asked you have to a add route to force traffic passing by management route.

    You have to know that routing for mgmt is different of business routing.

    SO connect to F5 using cli and enter in tmsh then add your route:

    tmsh create /sys management-route  network / gateway

    example

    tmsh create /sys management-route syslog-route network  172.28.68.42/32 gateway 1.1.1.1

    1.1.1.1 will be the management gw

    Then save configuration

    tmsh save /sys config

    This article describe routing trough mgmt interface: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13284

    Keep me update,

    Regards,
