Hi Giorgio,

Don't mind me to share some idea for your reference.

I think the answer is B) Active Active too.

If you encountering the situation on BIG-IP hardware platform, all connectivity between HA-peer units lost to cause no communication Device Connectivity (Config Sync, Failover unicast...).

But both units failover port connected, the HA connectivity lost still keep Active Standby state.


Thanks and Best Regards,
