How to identify a pair of BIG IP Devices programatically

Hi

 

1. Our current configuration is not allowing to assign a Shared IP for redundant pair of BIG IP Devices. Is there any i can identify pair of BIG IP devices programatically, May be some setting in each of the devices identifying they are pairs.

 

 

2. How to identify which device is in Active state and which is passive mode (standby mode)

    Which version of BIG-IP software are you running? Since you posted to the v4 to v9 migration forum, I'm assuming you are running v9.

     

     

    This post addresses how to determine a peers address for v9.x.

    As for determining what the current state of the device is, for 9.x use the System::Failover::get_failover_state() method. It will return either FAILOVER_STATE_ACTIVE or FAILOVER_STATE_STANDBY.
