hi,Stephan active bonus: A common reason to specify an active bonus is to prevent failover due to flapping, the condition where failover occurs frequently as a trunk member switches between availability and unavailability. In this case, you might want to prevent the HA scoring feature from triggering failover each time a trunk member is lost. You might also want to prevent the HA scoring feature from triggering failover when you make minor changes to the BIG-IP system configuration, such as adding or removing a trunk member.
Although you specify an active bonus value on each device, the BIG-IP system uses the active bonus specified on the active device only, to contribute to the score of the active device. The BIG-IP system never uses the active bonus on the standby device to contribute to the score of the standby device. Note: An exception to this behavior is when the active device score is 0. If the score of the active device is 0, the system does not add the active bonus to the active device score.
hmm,confused by this.....
so BIGIP use active bonus to break a tie? or use mgt ip?
