F5-LTM - Connections are passing through Standby Device

Make sure your virtual addresses are assigned to traffic-group-1.

 

In case your floating self IP, VIP, SNAT, NAT or whatever virtual address is assigned to traffic-group-local-only, I guess.

 

I.e. for a virtual IP address associated with a virtual server it should look as follows:

 

[root@bigip171:Active:Standalone] config tmsh list ltm virtual-address

 

ltm virtual-address 10.131.131.109 {

 

address 10.131.131.109

 

mask 255.255.255.255

 

traffic-group traffic-group-1

 

}

 

Lookup the virtual address settings in the tab associated with the virtual server settings or simply modify from CLI with:

 

tmsh modify ltm virtual-address your_ip_address_here traffic-group traffic-group-local-1

 

Dont forget to:

 

tmsh save sys config

 

tmsh run cm config-sync to-group device-group-failover (Perhaps you need to replace the device group name)
