    Hello, 
    No, the connections are not mirrored !
    To share in case it might help someone someday: I had a TG conf problem, the VS was configured in the TG1 and nexthop (floating self-ip) in the TG2, I configured everything in TG1, and it works.
    Thank you Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh M_Saeed

Hello Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh 

Yes in virtual server, i use auto-map, no persistence. I see connections mirroring only on the Active.

Thanks

    Hi cpt_ri_F5 , 
    Alright, 

    That's most properly means that Mirroring links are suffering to mirror these connections. 

    what is the IP which used for mirroring ? Is it the MGMT interface or a specific VLAN ? 

    -I would recommend selecting specific Vlan for HA ( Not Internal/External )
    -Also If you can use ( Back-to-Back ) Connectivity between HA pair .
    -Also Use LAGs or Link aggregation for HA to increase the BW and leverage the Fault tolerance of HA. 

    Please check this Article explians what I'm trying to say and much more troubleshooting : https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K54622241
