We are planning to configure network mirroring and network failover. I was under the impression a floating IP was required on all traffic VLANs to support a seamless failover with those configured. Please correct me if I am wrong. We had a F5 consultant do a review of our devices and he stated we are at risk of an outage in the event of a failover without that floating IP configured (having some trouble getting further info out of him).

May 22, 2014That is correct, without floating IPs you will suffer in the event of a failover and it would be pointless to user mirroring and failover without them. I'd also recommend you use MAC Masquerade too.
