Replace F5 8900 version 11.6.1 by F5 iR800 version 12.1.2

Hello I have 2 F5 in version 11.6.1 that i need to replace with two others in 12.1.2 version. how could i proceed? is it possible to import config? how can i configure port mirroring and sync failevor? Is it possible to adapt the new version 12.1.2 in version 11.6.1?

 

It is LTM Platform. I never did this task before and it would be helpful if you can give me some tips because it is very critical for the client

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi Marieme,

     

    deployed a cluster with this 2 equipement and sync configuration it's a good alternative...

     

    • You can upgrade the old (11.6.1) one to the same version to the new one (12.1.2)
    • set systemp and network part.
    • then create the self IP on the new one (same vlan name)
    • don't forget to set communication channels (Device Management ›› Devices --> configsync, failover, mirroring)
    • ...
    • Then sync the configuration on the new one.

    it's a simple and effective procedure. let me now if you need help...
