Note: Only SSH access is enabled on the failover connection. However in firmware versions later than
3.0.2 HTTPS access is also enabled. The administrator can then SSH (or HTTPS) connect to the
console server and fix the problem.
By default, the advanced console server supports automatic failure-recovery back to the original state
prior to failover (V3.1.0 firmware and later). The advanced console server continually pings probe
addresses while in original and failover states. The original state will automatically be set as a priority and
reestablished following three successful pings of the probe addresses during failover. The failover state
will be removed once the original state has been re-established.
Note: For firmware pre V3.1.0, the advanced console server does not support automatic failure-
recovery back to the original state prior to the failover. To restore networking to a recovered state,
you need to run the following command:
rm -f /var/run/*-failed-over && config -r ipconfig
If required, you can run a custom bash script when the device fails over. You can use this script
to implement automatic failure recovery, depending on your network setup. The script to create is:
/etc/config/scripts/interface-failover-alert
