Understanding Colocation Mode

Group server and group member functions are separate and do not overlap. The server and member functions can coexist in the same physical device, which is referred as colocation mode. In colocation mode, there is no change in terms of functionality and behavior of the server or a member, but the server and member each need to be assigned different IP addresses so that packets can be delivered properly. In colocation mode, there can be only one IP address assigned to the server and one IP address assigned to the member across groups.
