Discovery of failover peer using iControl

Hi,     I'd like to be able to discover a failover peer for an active-active or active-standby pair of LTMs using iControl. From what I can tell there is no good way to do this currently. ...

Thanks Sam, I'll post the question on the Advanced Config/Design forum.

 

 

In our scenario the packets will always go to the F5 as it has a self IP on the server VLAN, so when it communicates with a server it's all via directly connected subnet thus a default gateway or other routing decision is not needed for either the F5 or the servers. I'm still unclear just what having a floating self-ip would buy us in this design (other than me being able to detect a failover pair!), but again that's probably a question best suited for the Advanced Config/Design forum.

 

 

Thanks,
