LTM Act/Stdby config

Hi Gurus

 

I am a newbie to F5 world. I have pair of F5 LTMs and I would like to have Act/Stdby config between these LTMs. Active LTM will be in Primary DC and Stdby will be in Secondary DC. Could you please let me know what would be basic criteria to span the cluster across the DC via DWDM link? like..

 

  1. Max allowed distance between the two box to establish the HA
  2. can this HA happen on routed link or do they need spanned L2 link across DC.

Thanks Mahendra

    1. Depends on your infrastructure, whether you're repeating the signal etc. How far were you hoping to go?
    2. You need to span layer 2.

    The distance between two DC is more than 100KM and less than 150KM

     

    Thanks Mahendra
