Advice: Best practises for LTM+ASM

Hey Madhukha,

To setup the HA in a Active/Standby mode follow these steps :

Note: You must perform this task locally on each device in the device group.

• Specifying an IP for "config sync" & for "connection mirroring"

"Device Management > Devices" => choose the local device

From "Device Connectivity" menu, choose "ConfigSync" => F5 Networks recommends that you use the default value, which is the self IP address for the internal VLAN. This address must be a non-floating (static) self IP address and not a management IP address.

From "Device Connectivity" menu, choose "Mirroring" => The recommended IP address is the self IP address for either VLAN HA or VLAN internal.

• Establishing device trust

"Device Management > Device Trust" then "Peer List" or "Subordinate List" Click Add

• Creating a Sync-Failover device group

"Device Management > Device Groups" click "Create"

• Specifying IP for failover communication

"Device Management > Devices"

From "Device Connectivity" menu, choose "Failover Network" => Failover Unicast : preferably VLAN HA and the static management IP address

Hope it helps

Regards
