F5 failover behavior, v.11.4
Hello All. I've installed a pair of F5's for LTM, v.11.4, in two different data centers using Network failover. I want Data Center A to be my 'Always Active' device unless there is a failure and it will fail over to Data Center B.
So I shut down it's port channel in Data Center A and it fails over to B. I then restore my port channel in DC A. It should become my Active device again but does not.
I forced the F5 in DC B to go Standby and it does but DC A does not go active. They stay Standby/Standby. If I force the device in DC B to go offline, then DC A will go Active.
Vlan failover seems to work okay and act correctly but I wanted to use the HA Group failover because it's faster.
Any advice?
