Replacing the management switch
Hello,
A pair of BIG-IP appliances (running 12.1.2) in active/standby mode installed in two different DCs with the management port connected to management switches (with the management VLAN L2 spread between two DCs).
I need to replace the management switch in both DCs. Is it recommended to put standby unit Offline during the maintenance to prevent failover? Looking at tcpdump I see quite a lot of failover_packet traffic between two units over the management VLAN.
Thank you.
