Hello guys,

 

 

I'm experiencing a similar issue. We have 4 LB available on a LAB environment, two of them are running HA config (active/passive) with network failover only. The other two are running HA config (active/passive) with serial cable failover. I have configured the HA group feature on both on them in order to trigger a failover when trunk interfaces become unavailable...

 

 

The HA group feature is working fine on the network failover pair, but it doesn't work at all on the serial failover pair. I must say I'm surprised because I was going thru the F5 docs on HA groups and AFAIK there is no reference to the fact that network failover is needed in order for HA groups to work properly...

 

 

Any comments/experience with that?

 

 

Thanx!
