What happens on failover when cluster not in sync?

Hi Alex, your understanding is correct. The standby box will become active and begin to process traffic with its current configuration. Sync status is totally independent of failover.

Hi Alexander,

 

 

Yes, the config that is not in sync will not be available on the standby device

 

Once failover happens the standby will resume the active role with last synchronized configuration, (other that the unsynchronized config all will work fine)

 

 

However in such situation to get the lost config on the Standby (now Active), you can do a config pull

 

GUI - System ›› High Availability : ConfigSync >> (Synchronize from peer)

 

 

CLI

 

v10.x - b config sync pull

 

V11.x - run cm config-sync from-group DEVICEGROUPNAME

 

 

Thanks
