The mapping to a traffic group (allowing you to run your failover device group in active/active mode) will be done on virtual address level:

Local Traffic ›› Virtual Servers : Virtual Address List

I´m not aware this could be done on subnet level, except your virtual servers are configured with a subnet destination.

Make sure to have a 2nd floating IP address configured as well and have it assigned to the 2nd traffic group for SNAT automap.

So it means everytime we configure new VIP , We have to select the traffic group for that VIP from "Virtua ddress list"

    Yes, but you can also work with administrative partitions and put your new virtual servers into a partition associated with traffic-group-1 oder the other partition associated with traffic-group-2.
