Design help related... newbee
Currently our setup is bound to a single ISP , our production application domain urls instance are bound to that single ISP. So we are heavily depend on single ISP. Hence we are planning for redundancy at ISP Level and wih Secondary ISP. Now we would required F5 solution to handle redundancy between ISPs without affecting domain change or IP change at our end. Also we would like to local load balancing of servers with F5. At present we have f5 1600 ltm for server load balancing. In case of ISP1 failure, applications hosted on our network should be available for end users through ISP2, without any disturbance/downtime/Major Changes. Once this is successful, we are planning for DR site for the same hosted applications. In case of DC site failure, the hosted applications should be available for end users through DR site, without any disturbance/downtime/Major Changes. Attached sample network setup of me. appreciate to advice of design to handle isp redundancy and server using F5 1600.
- TechgeeegNimbostratusHi Rizwan,
- Rizwan_77594Nimbostratushi tech,
- TechgeeegNimbostratusNo you don't have to activate the license on LTM-1600 for it to act as GTM.... Technical details wise I prefer you to take GTM as a separate HW Appliance which will place just after your ISP1 & ISP2 routers so the connection will be like this...
- Rizwan_77594NimbostratusThanks,I undertood now. Can we have GTMs in HA pair?
- TechgeeegNimbostratusYes it's highly recommended to have GTM as a HA pair. Yes this is true that GTM is an add on component on LTM but due to their placement I have always seen them running separately.
