Lab 10 - Device Service Clusters and High Availability

In this module you will configure BIG-IPs for high availability. Device Service Clusters (DSCs) are a series of BIG-IPs (up to 8) that and support each other and failover applications.

301a Objectives covered:

• 2.05-2.07

  • Given a scenario, determine an appropriate high availability configuration (i.e., failsafe, failover and timers)
  • Given a scenario, describe the steps necessary to set up a device group, traffic group and HA group
  • Predict the behavior of an LTM device group or traffic groups in a given failure scenario

Estimated completion time: 45 minutes

• Building a DSC (Device Service Cluster)
• Failover and Mirroring
• Traffic Groups
