Configuring active/standby pair - they wont talk

Hey Anthony... No problem. Good show that it is sorted out.

 

 

For Device 2, the reasons why 1.1 isn't showing as UP could be that either there is no network cable plugged into the device on port 1.1, or the cable plugged into that interface is not plugged correctly into the switch. If it is all plugged in correctly (and there is no fault with the cable), the other issue could be the configuration on the switch itself.

 

 

It sounds as though you only have 1 vLAN for your setup? With a HA setup like this, I would expect there to be a total of 3:

 

1 for internal traffic (used to connect to internal resources)

 

1 for external traffic (used to connect to the internet)

 

1 for your HA (used for your high availability sync)

 

 

Not sure if you have seen it or not, but this article explains it really well:
