F5 equivalent of Alteon's buddy helthchecks
Hi all, I'm in the process of migrating old Radware Alteon load balancers onto F5 kit. On the Alteons they have what's known as a "buddy health check". Basically what it does is monitor a second node, and if that goes down then the first node is marked as down too. For example, Server A is configured to have Server B as its buddy. If the health check for Server B fails, the load balancer will mark Server A as down. I'm aware this could be done using Priority Group Activation, however in this case Server A is being health checked on port 3000 whilst Server B is health checked on port 3001. Data for both is on port 7021. Is this setup achievable on an F5? Thanks!451Views0likes1Comment
