1 existing and 1 new FPass for Failover.

Hey we just bought a new 4100 Firepass to use as a failover member to an existing production controller that is not setup for failover.

 

 

I have a few questions

 

 

First, in a Failover Pair configuration, it is possible to share more than one VIP between 2 controllers on the same interface?

 

 

For instance would it be possible to have the external NIC Eth1.1 self IP as 200.1.1.1, but also put two Virtual IP's on the Eth1.1 interface? ie. 200.1.1.2 & 200.1.1.3 as VIPS.

 

 

We have a site that accesses the Firepass over a different domain name and differnt IP than all other sites, but we want them to take advantage of the availibility.

 

 

Second,

 

IN a Cluster configuration, with only 2 participating controllers, what happens if the single Primary Node controller goes down? Will the secondary cluster node automatically begin accepting sessions from the user instead of from the Primary node?

 

 

Thanks in advance.
