Configuring Failover
Viewing Monitored Interfaces
To view the status of monitored interfaces, enter the following command. In single context mode, enter
this command in global configuration mode. In multiple context mode, enter this command within a
context.
primary/context(config)#
show monitor-interface
For example:
hostname/context(config)#
show monitor-interface
This host: Primary - Active
Interface outside (192.168.1.2): Normal
Interface inside (10.1.1.91): Normal
Other host: Secondary - Standby
Interface outside (192.168.1.3): Normal
Interface inside (10.1.1.100): Normal
Viewing the Failover Configuration
To view the failover commands in the running configuration, enter the following command:
hostname(config)#
show running-config failover
All of the failover commands are displayed. On units running multiple context mode, enter this command
in the system execution space. Entering
show running-config all failover
displays the failover
commands in the running configuration and includes commands for which you have not changed the
default value.
Testing the Failover Functionality
To test failover functionality, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Test that your active unit or failover group is passing traffic as expected by using FTP (for example) to
send a file between hosts on different interfaces.
Step 2
Force a failover to the standby unit by entering the following command:
•
For Active/Standby failover, enter the following command on the active unit:
hostname(config)#
no failover active
•
For Active/Active failover, enter the following command on the unit where failover group containing
the interface connecting your hosts is active:
