Hi,

 

 

If you configure the two LTM's in active/standby mode and sync the configuration to the peer unit, the peer will have the same load balancing configuration. You can then configure which types of failures will trigger a failover from the currently active unit to the peer.

 

 

All of this is described quite comprehensively in the manuals on AskF5.com. If you have a more specific scenario, can you provide details on it so we can provide more specific suggestions?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
