Hi Nicholas,

 

I don't see why you couldn't but why you need to set multiple self IP or floating IP? everything depends what you want to do.

 

case1 (standalone):

 

  • 1 static IP (all outgoing traffic pass trough this static IP)

case2 (standalone):

 

  • 1 static IP (This IP will be use by monitoring only)
  • 1 floating IP (all outgoing traffic pass trough this floating IP)

case3 (cluster) - Active - Standby:

 

  • 1 static IP per member
  • And 1 shared floation IP (Traffic group 0)

case4 (cluster) - Active - Active:

 

  • 1 static IP per member
  • And 1 shared floation-a IP (Traffic group 0) Priority on member 1
  • And 1 shared floation-b IP (Traffic group 1) Priority on member 2

case 5 - Multiple statique self-IP on the same VLAN with different subnet...

 

tell me exactly what you want to do and I can help you.

 

Regards
