The active bonus add's weight to the active device.

(*1) Why the device F5.B is active with all interfaces down and F5.A with up interface is in StandBy?

In *1 the minimum members is 2, both HA groups do not have 2 active members, the active will stay active. (

(*2) It´s ok

(*3) Why the device F5.A still ACTIVE with worst HA score? Why do not fail-over to F5.B?

In *3 the active bonus counts for the A device, so it will stay active.

 

Cheers,
