I have 2 apps servers and 2 WFE servers, I would like to have high availability configuration for SharePoint central admin. So that if one apps server goes down, another apps server will be active. I need to know steps to configure this topology. Do I need to host CA in both the apps server?

When you configure the central admin select the app server for hosting as mentioned in the blog. Web application on wfe is business as usual– Waqas Sarwar MVP ♦Commented Oct 9, 2016 at 15:56

You should always host Web Applications on all servers. SharePoint 2010/2013's topology service isn't smart and will route requests that cannot be served to servers that do not run the Foundation Web service.– user6024Commented Oct 9, 2016 at 16:41
