Also, if you mean which BIG-IP device is Active or Standby (rather than what WLB was getting at with traffic groups) then the Active device will be the one that you configured the device group on i.e. device A you setup Device Trust and reference device B's ip address, username/password, then on device A you setup the device group (sync failover) and move both members to it. Device A will be Active, Device B will be Standby.

 

And WLB is correct re Traffic Group. Set it up on one, the Active normally, and then move it to the Standby once complete.
