How to create full HA for WAN switch in 2 active-passive F5 LC?
Currently both F5 (active-passive) are connected to 2 ISP router.
Since both F5 needs connectivity to both ISP router 1 and 2, the connection is mesh from both F5 to both routers via a single WAN switch.
However the design is vulnerable due to only a single switch. How can I migrate the configuration to 2 WAN switches?
What config in F5 that i need to do? Tagging? How about WAN switch/router side?
Attached is the current design.Appreciate any advice!!!
- Bart_18836NimbostratusSounds fairly easy, you just need to configure second switch with same vlans on an uplink toward Bigip (trunk) as you had on a single switch. Migration is easy, although you will have to run on a single device for a moment. I actually did that with forcing standby unit to go offline first, moving cabling to new switch and then reactivating it as standby again. PS. I do not see attachment you mention
- drhawkings_2156NimbostratusHi, attach is the design. I heard the solution is to tagged to the interface going to the WAN swicth but what will happen if a port is tagged & untagged at the same time?
- drhawkings_2156NimbostratusI heard that tagging the F5 ports going to the the ISP WAN Switch/router is the solution. Any idea guys??
- Bart_18836NimbostratusWell I still can't see design you are mentioning, but here is how I would proceed.
