HA Configuration with Multiple route doamins

Hi Team,

 

i am working on a design in which there are 2 LTM 3900 series which will be put in same datacenter as HA Pair.

 

The LTM's will be divided in 3 route domains to entertain seperate Application tarffic.

 

in this every route domain would have their own internal/external vlans.

 

i would like to know the Way to do active/standby configuration.

 

would that be achieved by using single HA VLAN or 3 seperate HA VLANS for each route domains. also if anybody could shed some light on how the traffic-groups play a role in HA configuration.

 

Thanks in Advance.

    The state of your HA is determined by the link of your 3900 pair in the cluster, and not by your application traffic. You need to establish a link between the 3900s and configure the HA pair (System --> High Availability). There are more than one way to skin a cat on the topology implementation of F5. Some put them inline and use them as a gateway to your LB interfaces. I have mine in a "one-armed" bandit manner. I link them to a switch, and extend my VLANs to the interfaces, then tag them. On the F5, I create RIP on each unit for each VLAN.
