Device OFFLINE ?
Dear folks,
What is the mean of OFFLINE in Device Management >> Device Tab
I will be having the access from management port?
IS this correct?

About device status

Offline means it will not become active for any of the traffic groups.
The setting is helpful if you plan to break your device group i.e. by setting a new device name, changing the device cert or resetting the device trust.
If your device group runs unintended active/active it might be helpful to get a stable situtation by forcing one unit into offline mode:
tmsh run sys failover offline
Release after recovery by:
tmsh run sys failover online
The unit will still have self IPs up i.e. to monitor nodes / pool members or to be reachable for inband management. Out of band (mgmt port) is available as well.
