Syncronize config across geographic site

I have 4 F5 LTM (8400) in 2 differ geographic sites, each pair configured in Activ/standby per site.

 

 

 

we should balance traffic across a pair of LTMs, the decisition of which site to use is made by

 

another upstream Load ballancer.

 

 

All LTM must have similar (same) configuration and similar pools.

 

 

 

All 4 LTM are managed by an enterprise manager.

 

 

I can already sync between each pair, is it possible to synchronize the config from one of the actives to the rest of the 3 LTMs.

 

 

if so how? Any ideas.

 

 

Thanks in advance

    You could script it. If you are at 9.4+, you can use the bigpipe export command to dump the configuration into a single file (including the traditional system file settings like syslog/snmp/ntp/dns etc), then load it in on the other side once you move it over.

     

     

    Original System:

     

    b config save

     

    b export /var/tmp/myConfig.scf

     

     

    Target System:

     

    b import /var/tmp/myConfig.scf

     

    b config save

    GTM could work that way, but I don't know whether LTM has that function or not, probably not
