NimbostratusF5 failover behavior, v.11.4
NimbostratusIt sounds like you need Auto-Failback? Under Network-->Traffic Groups -->group name. Should fail back to the default device after the unit is
Auto-Failback: Specifies whether the traffic group fails back to the default device. When checked, causes the traffic group to float back to the default device whenever that device is as available or more available than another device in the group. This occurs even when other devices in the group are more available than the default device. When cleared, causes the traffic group to remain active on the current device until that device becomes unavailable.
Failback-Timer: Specifies the number of seconds the system delays before failing back to the default device. The range is from 0 to 300 seconds. The default is 60. A value of 40 to 60 seconds allows for state mirroring information to be re-mirrored for traffic groups.
Steve_130921Thank you. But... I already tried that. Looking through the forums I found that setting and used it. I waited 10 minutes for it to fail back and it still would not. When using that setting is when it went standby/standby. When I take it off and just go with the HA group it fails but when I try to fail back the active goes standby for a few seconds but then goes back active again. As though Data Center A doesn't want to go active. It will go active if I force the Data Center B to go Offline. I changed Bonus values, members in the HA group, weights, etc. If I remove failover settings I can make it fail to DC B and then back every time, manually. Vlan failover seems to work correctly, failing back and forth manually. HA Group failover will fail properly but simply refuses to fail back either auto or manually.
