Azure Big IP F5 template with HA via LB
Hello All, I have deployed two Big IP virtual appliances into Micosoft Azure using the following template: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates/tree/master/supported/failover/same-net/via-lb/3nic/existing-stack/payg
I ran accross the problem detailed here (https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates/issues/198) but once I manually set the failover network and mirroring network IP address both devices synced in an Active/Sandby configuration.
My question now is how does the Azure loadbalancer in front of these F5 devices pass traffic / manage failover for them? The Azure loadbalancer as deployed from the template has the F5 external addresses in a back-end pool but there are no health probes, loadbalancing rules or inbound NAT rules defined - does all this have to be done manually similar to what is documented here? : - https://azure-f5-lab-days.readthedocs.io/en/latest/class1/module3/lab1.html
Thanks for any help
