NimbostratusFloating IP not needed if SNAT used
Hello,
I implemented 2 BIG-IP active/active with two traffic-groups.
The VS are links to SNAT pool, so the floating IP is not needed, the servers in pool communicate with SNAT IP not with floati...

NacreousHi,
from guide :"A floating self IP address enables a destination server to successfully send a response when the relevant BIG-IP unit is unavailable. When two units share a floating self IP address, a destination server can send traffic to that address instead of a static self IP address. If the target unit is unavailable, the peer unit can receive and process that traffic. Without this shared floating IP address, the delivery of server traffic to a unit of a redundant system can fail."
In case of one device failure it's usefull feature.
