GATEWAY FAIL-SAFE CONFIGURATION WITH TWO PARTITION AND TWO ROUTE DOMAIN

I am looking for gateway failsafe example.

 

Here is my environment mode Active/standby

 

Partition two partition

 

route domain two route domain

 

Each domain having default gateway. Here is the configuration i Prepared, but it failed

 

bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit1 {monitor all gateway_icmp member 10.75.64.1:0} bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit2 {monitor all gateway_icmp member 10.75.0.1:0}

 

bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit1 unit 1 bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit2 unit 2

 

bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit1 min up members 1 bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit2 min up members 1

 

bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit1 min up members failover bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit2 min up members failover

 

bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit1 min up members enable bigpipe pool gateway_pool_unit2 min up members enable

 

I need support correct this configuration

 

Regards Muthu

    The first step of configuring the gateway fail-safe feature with route domains is to create two gateway pools in Common partition for each BIG-IP system in the device group. 

     

    Run the commands on Active LB:

    # Go to Common Partition:

    cd /Common

     

    # Create the pools ( Members are the gateways of each route domains on the partitions):

     

    create ltm pool gateway_pool1 monitor gateway_icmp members add { 10.75.64.1%1:0 10.75.0.1%2:0 }

    create ltm pool gateway_pool2 monitor gateway_icmp members add {10.75.64.1%1:0 10.75.0.1%2:0 }

     

    # Assign the gateway pools to the corresponding units to which they are connected, since the pool information is synchronized between the systems:

    modify ltm pool gateway_pool1 gateway-failsafe-device unit1

    modify ltm pool gateway_pool2 gateway-failsafe-device unit2

     

    # The minimum number of gateway pool members that must be available to avoid the designated action:

     

    modify ltm pool gateway_pool1 min-up-members 2 min-up-members-action failover

    modify ltm pool gateway_pool2 min-up-members 2 min-up-members-action failover

     

     # Enable the member status checking:

     

    modify ltm pool gateway_pool1 min-up-members-checking enabled

    modify ltm pool gateway_pool2 min-up-members-checking enabled

     

    Save and sync the configuration to the standby device.
