F5 BigIP 6400 HA with BigIP 6800

our other 6400 LTM went down and is being replaced by a service unit, which is a BigIP 6800. Can I still setup the HA setup for 6400 and 6800 LTM, both running 9.3.1?

    I believe yes, HA protocol is not relevant for hardware, but keep in mind it for sure won't be supported set up by F5 Support from my experience.

    As Mazek suggested, if the units are on the same software version failover should generally work. And no, F5 doesn't support mixed software or hardware for a redundant pair.

     

     

    It would be good to replace the 6800 with a 6400 when you can.
