The primary distinction between Activ 41 e and Standby units revolves around which unit is currently processing traffic.
Traffic Objects (C & E): The unit in the 43 Active state is the only one that answers ARP requests for Virtual Server addresses and Floating Self-IPs . The Standby unit remains " quiet " for these addresses to avoid IP conflicts on the network.
Monitors (A - False):Both the Active and Standby units perform health monitors on pool members by default. This ensures that the Standby unit is ready to take over with an up-to-date view of the pool ' s health.
Failover (B - False): A failover trigger (like a VLAN fail-safe) causes the Active unit to go Standby and the Standby unit to go Active; it affects both.
Management (D - False): Configuration changes can technically be made on either unit (though it is best practice to make them on the Active unit) and then synchronized to the peer.
