multiple floating self IPs for the same vlan and within the same traffic group
Hi,
Is that a valid config to give more than 1 floating self IPs for the same vlan in F5 LTM? Also with the same traffic group setting.
I saw on F5 LTM cluster configured this way and looks like still working.
for example: both floating self IPs are 10.17.16.20 and 10.17.16.21, they have the same MAC address. Back end servers 10.17.16.200 and 10.17.16.201 have 2 NICs, they are not using 10.17.16.20 or 10.17.16.21 as default gateway. The other NIC IPs are 10.20.20.200 and 10.20.20.201, the servers are using 10.20.20.1 as default gateway.
The traffic can reach to server 10.17.16.200 and 10.17.16.201 via both floating self IPs 10.17.16.20 and 10.17.16.21, but 10.17.16.20 and 10.17.16.21 have the same MAC address. I am not sure how the F5 LTM Layer2 forwarding table works.
Anyone has this type of setup in F5 LTM?
