LTM network failover

From the manual I got that LTM can use network to determine if the active unit is working fine if network failover is enabled. And for synchronization it is recommended that a separate segment is used...

Thanks for your reply. But I am a little bit confused. In redundancy configuration, there we can set the peer IP address and check whether to enable network failover. Does that mean LTM will use the peer address to check the status of the active unit? If it loses connection to the peer, would failover be triggered?

 

For vlan failsafe, as far as I understand it does not deal with the peer. As long as there is no traffic on a vlan the LTM would perform failover.
