I have two LM-2200's in HA configuration. On the data VLAN, the shared VIP and the Virtual Service have the same IP address, (e.g. shared Eth2 and VS_1 both have 172.17.1.1). This works for the most part, except when I reboot one LM or fail it over. The Virtual Service loses connection and I have to go in, disable and then re-enable the Virtual Service. After that, everything greens up and is running 5x5.
Is it recommended that I change the data shared VIP (Eth2) to a different address, say 172.17.1.240 and leave the VS at 172.17.1.1? Can I change the data shared VIP (Eth2) without affecting the VS or the web site that points to the VS?
I do not have "Virtual MAC" set.
Thanks for your time.
