Chapter 14 Configuring Failover
Understanding Failover
•
For multiple context mode, enter the
write memory all
command on the active unit from the system
execution space. The command is replicated to the standby unit, which proceeds to write its
configuration to Flash memory. Using the
all
keyword with this command causes the system and all
context configurations to be saved.
Note
Startup configurations saved on external servers are accessible from either unit over the network and do
not need to be saved separately for each unit. Alternatively, you can copy the contexts on disk from the
active unit to an external server, and then copy them to disk on the standby unit, where they become
available when the unit reloads.
Command Replication
Command replication always flows from the active unit to the standby unit. As commands are entered
on the active unit, they are sent across the failover link to the standby unit. You do not have to save the
active configuration to Flash memory to replicate the commands.
The following commands are replicated to the standby unit:
•
all configuration commands except for the
mode
,
firewall
, and
failover lan unit
commands
•
copy running-config startup-config
•
delete
•
mkdir
•
rename
•
rmdir
•
write memory
The following commands are not replicated to the standby unit:
•
all forms of the
copy
command except for
copy running-config startup-config
•
all forms of the
write
command except for
write memory
•
crypto ca server
and associated sub-commands
•
debug
•
failover lan unit
•
firewall
•
mode
•
show
Note
Changes made on the standby unit are not replicated to the active unit. If you enter a command on the
standby unit, the security appliance displays the message
**** WARNING **** Configuration
Replication is NOT performed from Standby unit to Active unit. Configurations are no
longer synchronized.
This message displays even when you enter many commands that do not affect
the configuration.
If you enter the
write standby
command on the active unit, the standby unit clears its running
configuration (except for the failover commands used to communicate with the active unit), and the
active unit sends its entire configuration to the standby unit.
