F5 sync options

I am looking for some help on F5 sync’ing options. I have opened an F5 support ticket with the below opening notes. However I thought I would reach out to the this forum as well. I wonder if this ...

Hi Aaron,

the initial post an my response seem to be gone. So sorry for repeating myself partially.

"Sync-only" will not allow to synchronize LTM configurations.

To synchronize an LTM config all units need to belong to the same "sync-failover" device-group.

A traffic-grpup containing the virtual failover objects can be active on a single device in the device-group only.

So if you want both sites to be active (running the local devices in active/standby) it would be necessary to use a "sync-failover" device group of four devices with two traffic-groups.

A virtual address can be assigned to a single traffic-group only.

The only workaround would be using routing domains. Overlapping IPs are permitted.

But it adds complexity and each service still has to be configured twice (in each routing domain).

That´s why I would consider to use i.e. the new REST based iControl API to modify two independent "sync-failover" device-groups simultaneously.

Thanks, Stephan

---F5 opening case notes---

I have some questions about config syncing on the F5s that I would like to discuss. We currently have 2 F5s in an active/standby failover config in our Minneapolis (MSP) location and we also have 2 F5s in the same setup in our Madison (MSN) location. The MSP location is production location and the MSN is our DR location. I would like to take the config that we have on our MSP location and sync it to the MSN F5s. However I don’t want the MSP and the MSN devices to be a failover group. I believe this is possible but I wanted to discuss this with F5 support. We already have the active/standby sync-failover group created in MSP and in MSN so that we have device redundancy in each location. What I believe we need to do now is to add all 4 devices to the trust list and then create a sync-only group and this will allow us to manually sync our config from MSP to MSN.

I have found some links that sort of show this as being possible.

Hi Aaron,

\nthe initial post an my response seem to be gone. So sorry for repeating myself partially.

\n\"Sync-only\" will not allow to synchronize LTM configurations.

\nTo synchronize an LTM config all units need to belong to the same \"sync-failover\" device-group.

\nA traffic-grpup containing the virtual failover objects can be active on a single device in the device-group only.

\nSo if you want both sites to be active (running the local devices in active/standby) it would be necessary to use a \"sync-failover\" device group of four devices with two traffic-groups.

\nA virtual address can be assigned to a single traffic-group only.

\nThe only workaround would be using routing domains. Overlapping IPs are permitted.

\nBut it adds complexity and each service still has to be configured twice (in each routing domain).

\nThat´s why I would consider to use i.e. the new REST based iControl API to modify two independent \"sync-failover\" device-groups simultaneously.

\nThanks, Stephan
