Self IP address
--> Self IP address is the IP address that is used to perform the monitoring in F5.
--> Once you enable Monitors for the Pool members in F5 then source IP address is F5 self IP address and destination IP address is Pool Member IP address.
--> For every VLAN you need to create a separate Self IP address in each of the F5 devices if you are using active/passive or Active/Active HA.
--> Self IP address will be different for each F5 device if you are using active/passive or Active/Active HA.
--> In Simple terms, the Self IP address is the Interface IP address that is configured in HSRP/VRRP for Cisco Routers.
--> Self IP address will be assigned to the default traffic group (traffic-group-local-only), If you do not create any other traffic groups.
--> Each and every Self IP address that you create on the F5 automatically gets the MAC address from the Pool.
Floating Self IP address
--> Floating Self IP address is used to initiate the traffic to backend servers or pool members if the SNAT automap is used.
--> For every VLAN you need to create the same Floating Self IP address in each of the F5 devices if you are using active/passive or Active/Active HA.
--> Floating Self IP address will be the same in both of the F5 devices if you are using active/passive or Active/Active HA.
--> In Simple terms, Floating Self IP address is the Virtual IP address that is configured in HSRP/VRRP for Cisco Routers.
--> Floating Self IP address will be assigned to the default traffic group (traffic-group-1), If you do not create any other traffic groups.
--> Each and every Self IP address that you create on the F5 automatically gets the MAC address from the Pool.

There is always one floating ip address per vlan & it is always owned by active devices in a traffic group. The default traffic group is traffic-group-1 :)
ReplyDeletedo you have the URL link on F5 web site that to confirm "always one floating ip address per vlan" ? I saw 2 floating IP address for the same vlan still works.
