The first step of configuring the gateway fail-safe feature with route domains is to create two gateway pools in Common partition for each BIG-IP system in the device group.
Run the commands on Active LB:
# Go to Common Partition:
cd /Common
# Create the pools ( Members are the gateways of each route domains on the partitions):
create ltm pool gateway_pool1 monitor gateway_icmp members add { 10.75.64.1%1:0 10.75.0.1%2:0 }
create ltm pool gateway_pool2 monitor gateway_icmp members add {10.75.64.1%1:0 10.75.0.1%2:0 }
# Assign the gateway pools to the corresponding units to which they are connected, since the pool information is synchronized between the systems:
modify ltm pool gateway_pool1 gateway-failsafe-device unit1
modify ltm pool gateway_pool2 gateway-failsafe-device unit2
# The minimum number of gateway pool members that must be available to avoid the designated action:
modify ltm pool gateway_pool1 min-up-members 2 min-up-members-action failover
modify ltm pool gateway_pool2 min-up-members 2 min-up-members-action failover
# Enable the member status checking:
modify ltm pool gateway_pool1 min-up-members-checking enabled
modify ltm pool gateway_pool2 min-up-members-checking enabled
Save and sync the configuration to the standby device.
