Hi there,

 

 

99% there, you need to assign a self-ip for the HA_Heartbeat VLAN, I normally use 1.1.1.1 for the active and 1.1.1.2 for the standby devices. I would also make sure the HA_Heatbeat VLAN is untagged. Once you do this then go to the configsync setup and set the relevant ip addresses. Once you do this you will be able to sync on the dedicated cable.

 

 

I would also setup redundancy to use the HA_Heartbeat addresses as well as the mgmt addresses. Just gives you more redundancy.

 

 

Once this is all done and setup take a qk view and log into ihealth.f5.com and upload the file. This site is great and will analyse your configuration and give you tips/fixes etc.

 

 

Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

 

 

David.
