Hi,

 

 

This is the correct forum for config sync questions. Which version of LTM are you running?

 

 

In 10, there is a new requirement if you're using network failover for the two units to have connectivity to each other via the management interfaces with the peer management IP addresses configured in the Peer Management Address field:

 

 

SOL9947: Change in Behavior: The Peer Management Address setting and communication using the management port is required for BIG-IP version 10.x systems configured for network failover

There are also a few known issues with the csTest.pl script:

 

 

SOL9159: The csTest.pl script generates a spurious error message if the StateMirror.PeerIpaddr db key is not configured

SOL10147: The csTest.pl script does not test the Configsync.PeerIpaddr and Failover.Ipaddr database keys

SOL7024 has details on configuring and testing config sync:
