F5 BGP Peering in Active /Standby Cluster

Try this approach using F5's iCall framework to automatically adjust BGP route advertisements based on traffic group state:

Step 1: Create Traffic Group State Detection Script

bash
tmsh create sys icall event-processor traffic-group-state {
    definition {
        set traffic_group [tmsh::get_status cm traffic-group traffic-group-1]
        if {[lindex $traffic_group 0 1] eq "active"} {
            # Device is active - advertise with good metrics
            exec /usr/bin/vtysh -c "configure terminal" -c "route-map POOL_MEMBERS permit 10" -c "set metric 50" -c "set local-preference 200"
        } else {
            # Device is standby - suppress or advertise with poor metrics  
            exec /usr/bin/vtysh -c "configure terminal" -c "route-map POOL_MEMBERS deny 10"
        }
        exec /usr/bin/vtysh -c "clear ip bgp * out"
    }
}
Step 2: Create Route-Map for Pool Member Subnets

bash
# In imish on both devices
ip prefix-list POOL_MEMBERS seq 10 permit b.b.b.b/subnet_mask
route-map POOL_MEMBERS permit 10
 match ip address prefix-list POOL_MEMBERS
 set metric 50
 set local-preference 200

router bgp YOUR_ASN
 neighbor ACI_PEER_IP route-map POOL_MEMBERS out
Step 3: Trigger Script on Failover Events

bash
tmsh create sys icall periodic-handler traffic-group-monitor {
    interval 30
    script traffic-group-state
}
This solution ensures route advertisements automatically follow the active/standby state
