Inline HA and Traffic Group Setup

Hello All,

 

Somewhat new to the version 11 setup and traffic groups and want to ensure that we have the proper setup. We have a HA LTM setup in inline mode with internal and external floating IPs on each side.

 

 

Is it OK to have one traffic group with mac masquerade configured and associating the two floating self IPs with that traffic group? I wasn't sure if having the same mac on both the internal and external side would pose a problem. Or is best to have two traffic groups - one for external and one for internal?

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

    Brian - that looks the right setup to me. One traffic group for your appliances (inc external and interval VLANs) and one MAC Masquerade address assigned to all floating IPs.

    As long as it's NOT the same switch on both sides... Otherwise some switches will have issues...
