LTM HA - network or hardware failover?
Just wondering if people use network or hardware failover or both?
I'm setting up two LTMs in an active/standby config, and am a little confused
It seems hardware failover will be preferred over network if both are configured. But what if if the switch port which connects to the active unit goes down? will the device failover to the backup unit using hardware failover?
I have the following requirements:
Failover if network connectivity is lost to active device
failover if active device looses power
Management of devices using a floating IP
All VLANs to be synchronized across both devices.
I'm thinking network failover is best for this... would appreciate some feedback
