Does System (User , Platform ssh allow list) config gets synced to other F5 devices in device group

We have 2 loadbalancer in device group. One being active and other as standby. Does the config sync from active to device group, will push the config to standby device if follwing changes are made on active LB "system > Authentication > User Directory > local" , "System >> User list >> Creating new user" and "adding additional ips to SSH allowed list in the System > Platform".

 

Or we have to create the Authentication and local user separately on the standby device as well.

 

Also does locally generated archive files include the above configuration. So if we need to have them rolled back we can restore the UCS archive we created before making making the config changes. - Thanks

  • Hi,

     

    All items in the /conf/bigip.conf file are synchronized in a Device Group.

     

    Device specific items like non-floating self IP's are stored in the /conf/bigip_base.conf file and are not synchronized. In this file the allowed ssh hosts are configured.

  • Hi AJF5,

     

    all mentioned settings will be replicated across your device group.
