LTM HA - network or hardware failover?

Just wondering if people use network or hardware failover or both?     I'm setting up two LTMs in an active/standby config, and am a little confused     It seems hardware failover will be ...

Does that work OK with hardware failover? I mean can vLAN fail safe and hardware failover be used together?why not? ;-)

 

 

Also, I have noticed that when I create a new VLAN on one unit and then sync the config, the new vlan does not show up on the standby unit.... Is this normal?yes, that is normal since vlan is not shared configuration. only shared configuration such as virtual, pool, node will be synchronized.

 

That kinda sucks.... I'm going to have over 100 VLANS (all with self IPs)

I have an API that can configure vlans, VIPs, pools, nodes etc etc at any time via a web portal that our customers can use...

 

 

 

If they don't get configured on the backup device and a failover occurs traffic wont flow. Is it possible to get this synchronised somehow at all?
