VLAN Failsafe
I have two BIG-IP 1600 in a HA config.
I need a failover to occur if the active unit looses its network connection to the internal and/or external network.
So i have configured VLAN Failover but just had a few questions.
It seems I should only configure VLAN Failover on the active unit, if i configure it on both units they both go into standby if a network connection is lost. Is this correct?
They way i have configured HA is using a dedicated VLAN called LTM-HA. This is configured on both devices, each with their own self IP. This is also one of the VLANs i have configured failsafe on. Does that sound ok?
Also one question on floating IP addresses, it seems i need to use three addresses to make a floating IP. Two IPs for the static self IP on each unit, then one IP as the floating, is that also correct?
thanks
