Network failover vs. serial failover on Edge appliances
Multiple F5 technicians have suggested to a customer of mine that moving from serial to network failover on their Edge Gateways would reduce the downtime in reconnecting user sessions after a failure. All documentation I can find indicates that serial failover is faster. Does anyone have any input?
- hooleylistCirrostratusSerial failover is faster for failover. However, you still need network failover configured for mirroring of session data.
- David_TumlinNimbostratusThanks Aaron.
- hooleylistCirrostratusThat's correct:
- David_TumlinNimbostratusThanks Aaron! That was exactly the piece of information I was missing.
FYI - In v12+ connection mirroring of ssl connections is now possible.
