ASA1-BIPIP1 ASA2-BIGIP2

 

IF i USE ether Channel IN ASA 2 ports as a single ether channel, how to connect the two ports into

    Do you mean link aggregation? If so then create a trunk on the f5 and add the interfaces to this trunk. You can also set the LACP settings here too.

     

    Hope this helps, N

     

  • thanks nathan

     

    ASA1-BIPIP1 ASA2-BIGIP2

     

    you mean, create a vlan in bigip1 and assign two ports? can you brief me little more?

     

    this bigip's in DMZ of Cisco firewalls? active stand by mode of Cisco ASA! as well BIGIP in hA mode

     

  • Nathan,

     

    you mean create the vlan with trunk ports and connect the port one to ASA 1 and port 2 to ASA 2? if yes BIGIP lcap uses both ports for sending the traffic? will stand by ASA firewall receive the traffic?

     

    what happens here? can you explain?
