CirrusFailover from active ltm to passive ltm on the basis of interface down.
I have 2 LTM 5000s v11.4.1. Working in Active passive. There are two Nexus 5548P also working in active passive. Its fully mesh connection means active switch is connected to both active and passive F5 same for switch02 connected to both F5 LTM.
Is there some way that LTM fail over to standby LTM on the basis of if any interface of Active ltm goes down? Like in cisco we track an interface and decrement from HSRP to fail over to another side. Can we fail over on the basis of interface down in F5?
I saw some failover on the basis of trunks but not interfaces.

Hi, you can configure vlan failsafe feature. About https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/200/sol13297.html There are two ways to configure VLAN fail-safe in the BIG-IP Configuration utility: from the System > High Availability > VLANs > screen or from the Network > VLANs >.

you can create trunk with one interface member.
Muhammad_Irfan1Creating trunk on 1 interface member then what will be that interface on the cisco switch? Trunk or etherchannel? As I understand f5 tagged interface = cisco trunk and f5 trunk = cisco etherchannel isn't it?- nitass_89166you do not need 802.3ad because there is only one interface. if there is 802.3q, you just configure the same on both sides.
- Muhammad_Irfan1If i add tagged interface into trunk during production will it stop traffic? as it is already trunk on the switch.
