F5 HA Active/Passive template with 2xNICs for Microsoft Azure

Hello,

 

I am looking for a F5 HA Active/Passive template for Microsoft Azure with 2x NICs.

 

Does anyone know where to find it?

 

It looks like Github only has one with 3x NICs (Management, External, Internal), I'm after the template with 2x NICs (Management, External).

 

I can find different templates for standalone appliances (1xNIC, 2xNICs, 3xNICs, NxNICs) but not for HA in Active/Passive configuration.

 

Alternatively does anyone know what to remove from json template so the internal NIC wont be deployed?

 

Thanks

 

  • Hi Domel,

     

    To me F5 HA Active/Passive template for Microsoft Azure with 2x NICs do not exist.

     

    However you have the possibility to deploy the 3NICs ARM template and after you will create 1 VLAN and use just 1 interface mapped to it. For your record, the external interface (-ext) is those with the script of failover.

     

    The secondary IPs will be create on them and will use the App-ID to fail to the other external (-ext1) interface of the peer.

     

    Regards.

      Thanks a lot Mo.

       

      I have spent some time and edited the 3xNIC Github template by deleting all the internal NIC references and it seems to be working as expected.

      Ok maybe you could remove from the template one interface but be careful because I had a speach with F5 and they told me that modify the ARM Template will remove the support in case of issues in the future...
