Vlan failsafe-Trunks
Does anyone know or have experience with the suggested timeout period for using vlan failsafe? If I leave it at the default of 90 seconds and the Vlan were to be down on the switch the active unit is cabled to, that is a very long time for it to failover. I turned it down to 10 seconds and did some testing. I lose 2 packets when I kill a link on the active unit and it fails over to the standby. It seems to work pretty well but wondering if there is anything I should be aware of. 10 seconds is the lowest timeout period it will allow me to enter.
One other question, in regards to using trunks, do people commonly use LACP and if so, what is used for the LACP timeout and LACP link selection policy. I'm going to bond 1.1 and 1.2 links together as a 2 GB link into a Cisco 6509
Thanks in advance, i'm newer to F5 but am really enjoying this forum and the product.
