1. is there any best practice for configuring network failover? (e.g. dedicated vlan, 2 physical links as trunk for failover traffic, etc)in v10, i always use 2 pairs of unicast entry; one is on mgmt interface and the other one is on tmm interface. for tmm interface, i use dedicated vlan with one port if possible.
this sol is for viprion.

2. is that necessary to have a dedicated vlan for network mirroring traffic? otherwise where should they go though?if traffic is high, i would use dedicated vlan.
3. after enabling network failover, is it necessary to configure vlan failsafe? Without vlan failsafe, would failover be triggered if a network interface goes down?it is not necessary. without vlan failsafe, bigip won't failover even interface is down.
by the way, have you seen this sol before? hope it is helpful.
