CirrusF5 Active-Active HA Setup
Hello all, What are advantages and disadvantages of Active-Active HA setup over Active-Standby? I went through few articles but not getting much information on this. Need your input...

Normally Active-Standby setup is recommended one. If you are configuring Active-Active setup, you need to configure it in such a way that in case one of the node goes offline, other node should take all traffic. Also if you have only LTM then it should be fine. But if you have other modules as well like GTM etc, you need to verify in this regard also.
Also you need think on how you are going to manage nodes. As both are active i.e. Node A is handling A traffic and Node B is handling B traffic. So you need to carefully make daily configuration so it will work as per your expectations.
