Switch "Serial failover" to "network failover"

guys,

 

 

i am using LTM 1600 HA pair v9.4.7 with serial hardwired failover with vlan failsafe. I want to relocate the secondary LTM to another room so I want to use "network failover" instead of "serial failover". Both LTM will keep all existing IP addresses (both LTM stay in same network segment).

 

 

From F5 manual, I just need to enable network failover in "HA" admin page. Do I need to reboot/reconfig the both LTM? After I enable the network failover, can I just unplug the serial failover cable without causing any downtime/failover?

 

 

my LTM ip addresses:

 

LTMA management ip:10.10.10.1

 

LTMB management ip:10.10.10.2

 

 

LTMA local ip (external vlan): 192.168.68.1

 

LTMB local ip (external vlan): 192.168.68.2

 

floating ip (external vlan) : 192.168.68.3
