Hi Team ,

 

For F5 failover from active to standby which option should we use? and what is the impact of using both the options ?

 

1.Using "Force standby option"

 

2.Failover using Preferred device Order and then Load aware .

  • It may help if you note the version of software you're on and the devices being used. Also, are you configuring a new F5?
