Questions about 11.X version, Active/Active redundancy and Mac-masquerading
Dear Sirs:
We´re evaluating some features about 11.X version on F5. Our main interest is focused on active/active issue. ASM, LTM and Web Accelerator modules are installed on our F5 devices deployment, and also redundancy Active/Standby. We wonder if enabling Active/active redundancy would be a good idea to take advantage of the complete F5 HW capacities in a better way than using active/stanby feature...
-Do you recommend Active/Active redundancy on version 11.X F5s, considering our current deployment (ASM+LTM+Webacc...)?
-Is supported Mac-masquerading using 11.X version? I was said that Mac masquerading isn´t supported on our current 10.X version!
Alas, we couldn´t test most of these skills with the trial version, so we need your opinion about it.
I looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards.

- TechgeeegNimbostratusThis 12 Gbps is required by your network ??????
- hooleylistCirrostratusYou wouldn't want to run active active with two units in a pair and have either unit run at over 50% capacity. Doing so, you'd lose your redundancy as one unit couldn't handle the full traffic load. v11's ScaleN clustering becomes really useful for taking advantage of more capacity of the units when you have more than two units in the cluster as you can run Active-Active-Standby and increase your use of the units to 66% instead of 50% for an Active-Standby pair.
