Hi, F5 uses only ip addresses configured under failover config for exchanging the heart beats & checking the health of the peer device.

    thanks for the reply

    the problem i am facing that - heartbeats are dropping and both devices are constantly becoming active - i dont see any issue on the hypervisor side (network interface).

    question -

    1 - how many heartbeats need to fail for the device to become active ?

    2 - can i tweak those settings ?

    3 - if i add a third network - would both of them have to fail for device to become active ?

     

    thanks
