Regarding interfacing F5 5250v to an HSRP Pair
Fellows,
We have one F5-5250 unit installed in each Data Center (2 DC's). I need to better understand the right way to connect the Bigip interfaces to the Cisco 3550 hsrp pair. SOL9487 explains the issues with hsrp/vrrp very well, but it is not clear on how the Bigip and the Cisco hsrp pair are connected.
We are thinking on connecting Bigip 1.1 to Router A, 1.2 to Router B. And then disable auto_last_hop.
Is this the right way to connect the hsrp pair or should we connect through a switch in between. That is, Bigip 1.1 to SW1, then SW1 to R A/B.
Appreciate your inputs...Thanks...ET
