F5 Failover

Hi,

 

 

I have deployed a pair of F5 LTM 1600 and have configured the redundancy and fail-over. Thus, I would like to ask that when the active F5 failover to the standby F5, is the failover a stateful failover? meaning to say that during a failover will the active connection to the Virtual Server on the active F5 being failover to the the standby thus there is interruption to the user connection?

 

 

I noticed that there is an option of "Connection Mirror" for Virtual Server. However, F5 website says the they recommend that to enable this option on Performance VS only.

 

 

Please advice.
