Virtual Wires with ASM and/or HA

Hi team! Does the new feature Virtual Wires work with ASM? Can we configure a VS with ASM enabled?   Does Virtual Wires work with F5 HA?   Thanks!

It should, all you need is a virtual server that is able to inspect the traffic. ASM is been working in L2 virtual servers for quite a long time as far as I know.

 

Regarding virtual wire in HA as that is mainly L2 forwarding there will be only one path from one point to another, in case of failover the adjacent switched will need to learn about the new path through the new active big-ip, it should be automatic.

 

To be honest, I have not tested but I don't see HA could be a limitation for virtual wires.
