Hi,
The following answers are for version 11.x, the cluster behavior is different in previous versions.
-
For each VLAN :
- 1 self IP is required per Big IP
- For routing needs, 1 floating IP is needed per Traffic Group on each VLAN
-
Virtual servers are not defined on units, Virtual address are defined on traffic group (traffic group 1 by default). there is no limitation on VLAN / Traffic groups
-
Pool members are monitored with non floating self IP
Active / Active cluster is configured with 2 traffic groups acting as Active / Passive Cluster. to convert a Active / Passive Cluster to an Active / Passive cluster, you need to :
- create a traffic group (traffic-group-2)
- create floating self IPs in traffic-group-2 (used to SNAT automap)
- change virtual address traffic group to traffic-group-2
