Hi Kees.
To avoid the case (*3) it's better to have the active bonus set to zero, or close (less than the half of HA weight).
The active bonus solve also case (*1).
I did more 3 tests and the active bonus set to zero works fine. The ACTIVE/StandBy follow the HA score and the number of up interfaces. So for this scenario the active bonus is not good.
Are there any inconvenient to have zero for active bonus?
The tests:
Start with F5.A ACTIVE (all interfaces UP), and F5.B StandBy (all interfaces UP)
| Device | Active Bonus | weight | minimum members | Score Contribution | Status || Int.1 | Int.2 |
Test4:
| F5.A | 0 | 15 | 1 | 8 | Stand By || Down | Up |
| F5.B | 0 | 10 | 1 | 10 | Active || Up | UP |
Test5:
| F5.A | 0 | 15 | 1 | 8 | Active || Down | Up |
| F5.B | 0 | 10 | 1 | 5 | Stand By || Down | UP |
Test6:
| F5.A | 0 | 15 | 1 | 0 | Stand By || Down | Down |
| F5.B | 0 | 10 | 1 | 5 | Active || Down | UP |
With these parameters I do not get the issue (*1), a device to be ACTIVE with no up interface to give service!
Thanks Kees.
Best Regards,
Luis.
