Configuring the security world on the second unit in a redundant
system
The second unit in the redundant system must be brought into the same
security world as your primary unit. This is a simple process, but one that
must be done after you run the Setup utility and synchronize the
configurations of the units in the redundant system. This means that both
520/540 platforms in the redundant system must be synchronized in order to
synchronize the SSL keys. This section describes how to synchronize the
520/540 redundant system, and how to configure the security world on the
second unit in a redundant system.
Note
You must configure the 520/540 redundant system for fail-over for this
configuration to function properly. If you have not configured the redundant
system, refer to Chapter 13, Configuring a Redundant System, in the
BIG-IP Reference Guide.
