Network FailOver + Fail-Safe

Thank You all for your replys.

 

 

@Aaron:

 

If on F5-1, when Fail-Safe Vlan was triggered(shtdown the switch port) it change active to standby, then the 1st F5 notes Vlan in down state.

 

Shouldnt this F5 pair aware the standby unit to perform active role ? If not, in which circunstancies the standby unit will stay in active ? Is that information passed trhough what mechanism ? FailOver Vlan ? HW failover cable ?

 

 

@nathan:

 

If i had no trigger performed by Fail-Safe Vlan, i guess it will be like u wrote, but even if i dont use Network FailOver, i guess i could configure Fail-Safe Vlan to perform the FailOver trigger, or thats not the way it works ?

 

 

 

I realise that i will not get any advantages with Network FailOver. So i will drop this configuration task.

 

Network mirroring and a dedicated Vlan for FailOver, should be configured in the same way ? My interest is to perform statefull failover for some VS.

 

 

 

Best Regards,
