Failover Peer IP

Hello

 

We know that it is possible to configure the Failover Peer IP address through the initial configuration utility. But, once it is configured why it is not possible to change this IP address through GUI or CLI (editing the bigip.conf or bigip_base.conf isn't impossible since the failover ip address isn't into the files)

 

Thank you.

    Not sure if this is available in the CLI but it is in the GUI under the "System.High Availability" section. If your device is configured as a Redundant Pair (in the System.Platform section of the GUI), then on the High Availability page, you can specify a primary and secondary failover addresses.

     

     

    For iControl, you will have to change the following database keys (via the Management.DBVariable interface).

     

     

    StateMirror.Ipaddr

     

    StateMirror.PeerIpaddr

     

    StateMirror.Secondary.Ipaddr

     

    StateMirror.Secondary.PeerIpaddr

     

     

    for the primary and secondary failover addresses self and peer ips.
