active standby

Good day all,

 

Apologies, i have read f5 documents but can't get hold of how the active-standby on big-ip will work or is configured to work.

Please help to understand how to find out what has been configured in the big-ip for it to behave or activate during a situation where it will change roles from standby to active.

 

In our self device, i see unicast address has been configured for ha & ha2 but it doesn't show what may cause the change of roles?

 

Thank you all in advance.

    Hi  ,

     

    If you go through the Device Group and Traffic Group, you will get more idea about the HA configuration and failover part. Sync-Failover device group type is responsible for config sync and HA failover to another device when primary active unit becomes unavailable. Traffic group is collection of Floating/Self IPs, Virtual Servers and defines the failover order. In case device device becomes unavailable, traffic group failovers to another available device in a device group.
