Convert BIG-IPs to Active-Active
================================================================================

You will change the two BIG-IPs to an active-active configuration and leverage an AWS Network Load Balancer to distribute traffic to application virtual servers. This involves removing the failover group membership, but retaining the configuration sync.

#. In the TMUI of each BIG-IP, verify that the BIG-IP is in the **Active** state.

#. Navigate to **Device Management > Device Groups** and verify that the current BIG-IP (self) is no longer a member of the **failoverGroup** Device Group.
