Nov 21, 2023Failover
Hello, I have 2 F5 in Active/Passive mode, each F5 is configured as follows: - Vlan-IN -- Trunk-IN --- Interface-Bundles-1 : 4 ports (1.1 to 1.4) --- Interface-Bundles-2 : 4 ports (1.5 to 1.8) ...
Hi Paulius
Yes, I wish that if an interface, for example, port 1.1, goes down, the F5 should failover.
Thanks
cpt_ri_F5 The F5 will failover when any routed interface goes down by default so you do not have to do anything to make this work.
Hi Paulius are you sure ? Do you have any documentation to share please?
cpt_ri_F5 The closest document I can find is the one below.

I can assure you that that is the normal behavior because this is something I deal with on a regular basis in the thousands of F5s that I have configured. The only time this isn't normal behavior is when you have F5 interfaces in a LAG which then requires you to create the HA group previously mentioned and then tuning it to have the appropriate behavior when an interface goes down in the LAG.
