    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

Helo Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh Thank you for your help,
I use both HA links which works correctly, status, syn conf, failover...

Active:
 sys state-mirroring {
 addr 10.0.1.10  >>> vlan: HA
 secondary-addr 10.0.2.10  >>> vlan: HA_BAK

Standby:
 sys state-mirroring {
 addr 10.0.1.20  >>> vlan: HA
 secondary-addr 10.0.2.20 >>> vlan: HA_BAK

I have already executed K54622241, nothing special except no traffic for tcpdump
Thank you.

HI cpt_ri_F5 , 

Interesting ! 

Is it a back to back HA Connectivity ? 
I mean both devices are directily connected or there is FW between them ? 

I believe there is no ACKs for mirroring connections.
