Hi Mike,

 

 

The best suggestion is to use hardwire failover if the units are within ~30 feet of each other. If that's an option then you don't have to worry about network failover incompatibility between versions.

 

 

If you cannot use hardwire failover, then I suggest disabling the upstream switch ports that connect to the unit you want in standby. Just leave the management port up. This prevents the second unit from trying to ARP for shared IP addresses.
