Basic traffic group / floating IP question
vimleyudruIt is not recommended to use the self or floating IP as a destination for a virtual server because you will limit yourself on what you can use those IPs for by doing so. You should always allocate a new IP if possible and then when a failover event occurs the devices will use the floating IP to move routing between the two units which will move all virtual servers as well because they are configured virtual servers. Self and floating IPs typically are only used for routing traffic and failover communication and additional allocated IPs are for other purposes such as virtual servers, DNS resolution, and so on.
