Upon trying to create a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) node without the management route configured, an error is displayed: 01070734:3: Configuration error: Please configure a default gateway.
User must configure a management route - even if they otherwise do not need one or have one configured.
A basic LTM configuration with DNS lookup server setup
Create a temporary management-route default gateway in order to add nodes using their FQDN: 1) tmsh create sys management-route default gateway 172.28.22.254 == create default management-route. 2) tmsh create ltm node mydomain.com fqdn { name mydomain.com } == create FQDN node. 3) tmsh delete sys management-route default == remove default management-route.
It is no longer required that a default management route is setup in order to add nodes via their FQDN.
