For the
name
argument, enter the unique identifier of the context that you want to
associate with the FT group.
For example, enter:
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)#
associate-context C1
Note
Before you can remove a context from an FT group, you must first take the group
out of service by using the
no inservice
command. See the
“Placing an FT Group
in Service”
section.
To remove a context from an FT group, enter:
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)#
no associate-context C1
Associating a Peer with an FT Group
To associate a peer ACE with an FT group, use the
peer
command in FT group
configuration mode. The syntax of this command is:
peer
peer_id
For the
peer_id
argument, enter 1 as the identifier of an existing peer appliance.
You can only enter 1.
For example, enter:
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)#
peer 1
To remove the peer association with the FT group, enter:
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)#
no peer
Assigning a Priority to the Active FT Group Member
A member (context) of an FT group becomes the active member through an
election process based on the priority that you configure for the group on each
peer. The group member with the higher priority becomes the active member. To
ensure that the member with the higher priority always becomes the active
member, use the
preempt
command, which is enabled by default. For details, see
the
“Configuring Preemption”
section.
