F5 cluster not syncing connections

Hello,   I have F5 cluster with active/active config and two traffic groups.   The first problem I see is that there is no syncing for firewall rules, only config related to LTM is being synced...

Bojan,

 

When you say firewall rules do you mean AFM rules? This should get synced across devices. If you mean ASM then you need to create a specific Synchronisation Group in the ASM part of the GUI.

 

In regards connections been dropped on failover. By default the connection table is not mirrored to another LTM. To enable this you need to do this on a per-virtual server basis. Check the properties of a virtual server and you should see a connection mirroring check box. There is a warning, however, about increased network traffic.

 

Hope this helps,
