The goal of redundant LoadMasters is to provide reliable traffic management, even if one LoadMaster becomes unavailable. The advantages of HA are as follows:

  • Eliminates a single point of failure.
  • The second (standby) unit monitors the active unit to detect if a failure has occurred.
  • Persistence can be kept using the HA parameters:
    • Inter HA L4 TCP Connection Updates
    • Inter HA L7 Persistency Updates
