4.2. Lab Scenario

You will configure HA failover via the F5 Cloud Failover Extension (pre-installed as part of the initial onboarding) and test a failover between BIG-IP instances.

4.2.1. Network Diagram

Two AWS VPCs are connected to an AWS Transit Gateway, which routes traffic between the VPCs. The app VPC contains two application server instances (each in a different availability zone). The hub VPC contains two BIG-IP VE instances (each in a different availability zone).

  • Config sync on ‘internal’ interface
  • Network Failover on ‘internal’ interface
