Adding standby F5 to HA pair using network failover

All,   can anyone advise why when I add a standby F5 LTM to a active/standby HA F5 LTM setup using network fail over the interfaces on the active F5 go offline after the device "see each other"...

Thanks for the reply, the devices are still on the 9.X code so no HA groups, also there is no vlan or gateway failsafe config in place currently. The device is currently using the main network trunk for network failover, not the managment interface. I know this is not best practise and I'm awating an engineer to get to the DC to rig a dedicated interface for the use for network failover.

 

 

I am using preferred redundancy state (active for the active 192.168.52.131 and standby for the other). I did read that the log msg: "Toggle from active to standby to active." was expected if there was no redundancy state defined, but as I have I don't know if this is pointing to an issue. Do you know of any default fail safe conditions on 9.X code tat would cause the interfaces to go offline?

 

 

thanks
