Cannot get vip secondary IPs to transfer over to other virtual appliance in AWS.
Afternoon,
I have setup a clustered VE BigIP appliances that are successfully sync'd but the issue is that from what I understand of the floating IPs for vip gateways and virtual servers is that they have to transfer over to the other device which takes around 10 seconds as it relies on API calls on AWS to do this transfer of IPs. I've contacted AWS support on whether they can see any API calls or not and they have confirmed that the devices are not making any calls. after exhausting google and aws and f5 support, I'm here to ask my questions.
1) How do I even begin to troubleshoot API calls from f5? Where do I go? what logs do I see? GUI or CLI? 2) How can I test the failover properly to use the API Call? 3) Why would the device not make an API call even though the permissions on the access key has Admin Rights? 4) is it possible to manually trigger this call? Where?
Someone please get me started, as I'm running out of options. Thanks in advance.
