What is the different "traffic-group-local-only(non-floating)" with "none" ?

What is the different "traffic-group-local-only(non-floating)" with "none" in WebGUI (Local Traffic -> Virtual Servers -> Virtual Address List -> Traffic Group )?

traffic-group-local-only (non-floating) is non-floating and not synchronized in device-group.

traffic-group none is non-floating but synchronized.

traffic-group none is non-floating but synchronized.

Every object you have should belong to a traffic group, either local, or a specific traffic group.

If you for instance, have Virtual IPs that belong to traffic-group none, an IP address conflict is likely to occur as the devices in a HA cluster might fight for control over that IP address.

Then what the point to have traffic-group none?

Is this feature usable?

In v11.0.0 the concept of device service clustering was brought in where there can be up to 8 devices and they can be in multiple states. for example you could have one VS in traffic group A is active on BIG-IP 1 and standby on BIG-IP 2, and another VS which is standby in BIG-IP 1 and active in BIG-IP 2. Or have a single device in standby for 7 other active devices.

Anyway, there is a local-only device group which is non-floating self IPs and you can put a virtual address in traffic-group none (Local Traffic>Virtual Servers>Virtual Address List>

Hope that makes sense
