NimbostratusConfigsync sync direction question
Hi,
Very new to F5's but have been tasked with setting up a redundant pair. Have setup the Unit id's and the opposing failover IP's and also have the serial failover cable connected between both units. F5 versions are both 9.45.
What puzzles me is that Unit 2 was setup before and Unit 1 is the new one with no apparent config and synced correctly (confirmed by looking at the Pools, Virtual servers etc) but now the webgui wants to sync from Unit 1 back to Unit 2 which I am worried about. Is there a way to see what the differences are so I can have a better informed decision if I should let Unit 1 overwrite anything on Unit 2.
Help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Justin

Hi Justin,
There isn't a simple way to determine what config changes have been made. You could scp the bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf files from one unit to the peer to diff them. But not all changes are written to these two files, so it's not a definitive answer.
scp bigip.conf peer:/config/bigip.conf.peer
scp bigip_base.conf peer:/config/bigip_base.conf.peer
sdiff bigip.conf /config/bigip.conf.peer | less
sdiff bigip_base.conf /config/bigip_base.conf.peer | less
