Hey steve! Can u explain to me in Failover the difference between Network failover and the failsafe because the first one doesnt track the ports state (up/down) so im forced to use failsafe to failover in case of link failure is that normal config or i didnt get the concept?. Thank you.
Jucker, if you haven't found your answer yet I recommend reading the solution articles on each function. However, at a high level VLAN failsafe uses arp at layer 2 to determine if communication is occurring over a specific VLAN. Gateway failsafe allows you to have a pool of servers at or beyond the default gateway to determine if it is able to route traffic. Network failover is more or less just heart beat validation between devices in a ha pair. support.f5.com/csp/article/K13297 support.f5.com/csp/article/K15367 support.f5.com/csp/article/K75303031 support.f5.com/csp/article/K2397
