F5 HA: Issue with Connection When the Primary appliance is brought online
Hi Friends,
We have a issue with a pair of F5 Appliance in Active/StandBy Setup: F5_A (Active)and F5_B (StandBy)
Case 1: When we failover to the F5_B, all connections is fine and the traffic continues working.
Case 2: When we rebooted the F5_A, and F5_B is going to active, all connections is fine and the traffic continues working, but later F5_A take control (becouse we are setup auto-failback en 60 seconds) all connection are lost and the traffic stop to process. The traffic returns to flow after 5 or 6 minutes.
Case 3 (similar to case 2): When we rebooted the F5_A, and F5_B is going to active, all connections is fine and the traffic continues working. In this case, we Disabled auto-failback, and wait about 15 minutes and failover to the F5_A, and equal, all connection are lost and the traffic stop to process. The traffic returns to flow after 5 or 6 minutes.
What is the reason for that? Do you had been any case similir to these?
Something to point, we are testing this with mac masquerade and withot this and the result is the same. Please if your have any comment or idea, thats help us alot.
Thanks
Christian Garcia
