Network Failover Question

Hi Chen,

 

 

That behaviour actually sounds right to me (somebody may correct me). Just because the active device can’t see its mate doesn’t mean it goes into ‘standby’, and it shouldn’t matter because all traffic should go to the standby, now ‘active’ as the link to the active is down.

 

 

Whereas if you simulate a failover by rebooting the active device (and the redundancy preferences on both devices are set to none), it will come back up as standby.

 

 

Hope that helps.

 

 

Matt
