create the sync group and sync configs

Device Management :: Device Groups
<create>
- name = bos-nonpci-1

- Members = lb1n01.prod.bos.credorax.com & lb1n02.prod.bos.credorax.com
- network failover = selected
- automatic sync = selected
- full sync = not-selected
<finished>


push the primary configs to the secondary
Device Management :: Overview :: Device Groups :: Name :: bos-nonpci-1
 Devices :: lb1n01.chuck.com (self)
- sync device to group = selected
<sync>



define IPs for failover comms:

! while still on the primary:
Device Management :: Devices :: lb1n01.chuck.com (self) :: device connectivity :: failover
<add>
- address = 10.55.64.253 (n1-trans1)

 syncing:

! switch back to primary LB:
https://10.55.32.23

Device Management :: Overview :: Device Groups :: Name :: bos-nonpci-1

- sync device to group = selected
<sync>



! the end result should be one lb in "active" mode (green dot) and one in "standby" mode (gray dot)

Manually fail back and forth.

! confirm that the primary is active:
Device Management :: Overview
 ! under "devices" the lb1n01.chuck.com (self) should be set to "active"

! flip to secondary:
Device Management :: Traffic Groups
- traffic-group-1 = selected
<force to standby>
<force to standby> ( a second time )
