BIG-IP : HA pair : configure floating-ip ( FIP )

Hi Baltostar,

on CLI you can check for floating self IPs with the following command (single-line output, filters "floating enabled" and prints strings 3 [name] and 6 [address/mask]):

tmsh list net self one-line | awk '/floating.enabled/ {print $3, $6}'

In WebUI the floating self IPs should be listed in Failover Objects of your traffic-group-1 or other traffic-groups you have added. Of course they will show up as well in the list of self IPs not belonging to "traffic-group-local-only" as in nitass screenshot.

To create a floating self IP requires to already have a non-floating self IP in the related VLAN.

tmsh create net self self_float_175 address 10.131.131.176/24 vlan vlan_prod_131 allow-service none traffic-group traffic-group-1

The example above creates a new floating self IP in traffic-group-1. If you don´t set the traffic-group parameter it will be a non-floating self IP and assigned to the traffic-group-local-only.

Thanks, Stephan
