Migration from LTM 3600s to LTM 4000s.
Hi,
I previously posted similar discussion. What I'm trying to do now is upgrade from 3600 to 4000. I have been only looking into UCS file on 3600 that can import to 4000 so that every config can be the same but only a few things such as interface etc...
In the meantime, I found out this article.
https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15496
Based on that article, it seems like I can just add 4000s to the existing 3600s and then remove the old 3600s, and I don't even have to use UCS file.
If that works,
- Software and License have to be installed separately on the new hardware?
- Can I use the old IPs on the new hardware?
-
When syncing, should I do that having the downtime?
- Is there any way that I can sync it without any impact?
- Do they have to be online for the sync? If yes, how can the new hardware use the old IPs?
- What and how should I configure on the new hardware and where do I have to connect the cable from the new hardware (4000s) to old hardware (3600s)?
I will very appreciate if you answer my questions above.
Thank you in advance!
