Nimbostratusquestion on floating IP
have a query on the SELF IP?
I have 2 loadbalancers in Active Standby Setup And I have a SELF IP for the servers of the Loadbalancer added as a route on the backhandservers .
Now the question is do I need to also have floating Ip configured on the active loadbalancers for the failover or if I configure another SELF IP on then standby device and add the route on the backhandservers .Please suggest

Hi Abi80,
The short answer is yes you would want to a floating self-ip, if you are in a redundant state.
If you need more of a detailed answer then I will refer you to the following
I hope this helps
Abi80_167352I Thanks Bhattman
so if i understand i need one floating Ip and and non floating Ip confgured on the Active device
and for the SYNC to work i need to create another non floating IP on th standby device

Well you would create a floating IP on both active/standby along with the self IP of each. This way when the failover happens it carries over.
For the Config sync it's a separate functionality where you can use the self ips. So the float is really used for layer 3 and/or failover functionality.
