VCMP Hosts and Guests

Hi community!!   Recently I asked refered to HA betwen Guests, and Hosts, about sync... And actually due to the answer recieved I'm realizing the HA process between Guests (Active / Passive), and ...

    Hi,

    You have to create the vlans again. But as long as you already configured those vlans on the first host, you can copy the vlan config in bigip_base.conf file from the first host and paste this configuration to the second host on the same file.

    You should copy all vlan information like below : 

    net vlan /Common/vlan_external {
    interfaces {
        1.2 { }
    }
    tag 4093
}

    Once copied to the second host, you save the bigip_base.conf file and execute a 

    tmsh load sys config
    to apply your changes.

    bigip_base.conf is located under /config

The procedure above works for vlan replication on the host only, I already noticed that the guest is not displaying correct interfaces, speed, etc. but the important is that you have your vlans propagated on the guest. Regarding the Active/Standby, you will need to share a floating Self IP for outgoing traffic to peers (snat automap feature). You cannot assign the same physical Self IP to multiples Guests
