    Hi,

     

    Take a look at https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K7312

     

    If you use the management interface for Network Failover, changing the management interface can cause a disruption of traffic because it resets the Device Trust.

     

    So have a good backup, good testplan and a good roll back plan. And do it in a maintenance window.

     

    Regards, Martijn

    So if you are not using tue out of band management for network failover like Martijn described.. you can just change it without any impacts.

     

    Done it multiple Times.
