Hi  ,

 

If you go through the Device Group and Traffic Group, you will get more idea about the HA configuration and failover part. Sync-Failover device group type is responsible for config sync and HA failover to another device when primary active unit becomes unavailable. Traffic group is collection of Floating/Self IPs, Virtual Servers and defines the failover order. In case device device becomes unavailable, traffic group failovers to another available device in a device group.
