GTM/LTM Active Active 3400s
Hi
Need some help on the below.
We have 2 3400s running LTM/GTM feature set.
Both are configured in one sync group and running GTM function. Recently we want to achieve firewall load balancing via the LTM funtion on both boxes only having 1 vip as a default gateway to half of servers in dmz and remaining servers have other vip as default gateway.
So for half of servers in dc1 traffic goes out via gtm/ltm_dc1 - vip 10.1.1.1
and for other half of servers in dc2 traffic goes out via gtm/ltm_dc2 - vip 10.1.1.2
Incase of failure of gtm/ltm_dc1 all traffic routes via gtm/ltm_dc2 - takes vip 10.1.1.1
both 3400 will have a transparent virtual server 0.0.0.0 pointing to firewalls_pool
To accomplish this we are thinking of running active/active on both 3400s hosting gtm/ltm functionality.
Just wandering is this a good idea?
And once done how does the gtm function gets impacted by this?
Thanks.
