HA for f5

Hi All,

 

For hardware 5250v do we have dedicated interface for config sync and connection mirroring? We are not using vcmp feature currently and will be using all 8 cpu for production traffic.

 

Also since this is vcmp box so I think this doesn't support serial fail over?

 

Thanks.

    The unit supports vCMP, but if you not running vCMP is like any other unit.

     

    Here is the platform guide for 5000 series: https://support.f5.com/content/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/platform-b5000/_jcr_content/pdfAttach/download/file.res/Platform_Guide__5000_Series.pdf

     

    The unit has RJ45 port for failover, and that can be used. As far as I know, the only unit that does not support hardware failover is VIPRION (but it does have failover port :P).

     

    This solution have all information you may need about configsync and mirroring options. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/100/sol14135.html

    Thank Leonardo, this helps.a

     

    So when we use rj45 as failover so this needs to be connected via crossover or straight cable directly?

     

    Also since this interface doesn't show up in gui so we need to do any special config on cli or gui?

     

    thank you for your help in advance.
