issues with Failover after upgrade from 9.3 to 9.4.8

I have a pair of 1500s that were running 9.30. I just upgraded them to 9.4.8, and everything seemed to go fine, application testing is going smoothly right now. The only problem is that when I force a unit to standby, I have to do a clear arp on my Cisco L3 switches in order to get traffic to go to the newly active 1500.

    I have seen this behavior in other versions of the code. The best way to get around this issue is to simply use MAC Masquerading. This is where you define a virtual mac address that is shared.

     

     

    You can find more information about how to configure on the following link

    I hope this helps,
