Configuration of RADIUS on F5

I have two F5 BigIP LTM(11.5.1) configured as HA pair ( Active & standby) in Auto Sync enable mode . Now I need to configure RADIUS on those devices. Is this necessary to make RADIUS setup on both or If we do on one device then will it replicate automatically on the other?

 

Thanks in advance

    Having auto-sync enabled on the device group is essentially the same as if you were telling it to sync manually after every configuration change. So the question is really whether the change you're making is part of the shared configuration that would be synchronised over to the the other unit.

     

    When you say RADIUS, you could referring to radius authentication to the management interface, or to a virtual server that load balances radius traffic, but in either case, it would be shared configuration, and therefore synchronised

     

    If you disable auto-sync temporarily, and make the change, you'll see the sync status in the top left corner of the GUI change to 'Changes Pending', which means it has changes it needs to synchronise with the other members of the device-group
