Chapter 60 Configuring Active/Active Failover
Controlling Failover
In Active/Active failover, the MAC addresses configured on this tab are not in effect. Instead, the MAC
addresses defined in the failover groups are used.
Fields
• MAC Addresses—Lists physical interfaces on the adaptive security appliance for which an active
and standby virtual MAC address has been configured.
– Physical Interface—Identifies the physical interface for which failover virtual MAC addresses
are configured.
– Active MAC Address—Identifies the MAC address on the active adaptive security appliance
(usually primary).
– Standby MAC Address—Identifies the MAC address on the standby adaptive security appliance
(usually secondary).
• Add—Displays the Add/Edit Interface MAC Address dialog box.
• Edit—Displays the Add/Edit Interface MAC Address dialog box for the selected interface.
• Delete—Removes the currently selected interface from the MAC addresses table. There is no
confirmation or undo.
Add/Edit Interface MAC Address
Use the Add/Edit Interface MAC Address dialog box to define the active and standby virtual MAC
addresses for an interface.
Fields
• Physical Interface—Specifies the physical interface for which you are defining failover virtual MAC
addresses. Because the MAC addresses do not change for the LAN failover and Stateful Failover
interfaces during failover, you cannot choose these interfaces.
• MAC Addresses—Contains the fields for specifying the active and standby virtual MAC addresses
for the interface.
– Active Interface—Specifies the MAC address of the interface on the active adaptive security
appliance (usually primary). Enter the MAC address in hexadecimal format (for example,
0123.4567.89AB).
– Standby Interface—Specifies the MAC address of the interface on the standby adaptive security
appliance (usually secondary). Enter the MAC address in hexadecimal format (for example,
0123.4567.89AB).
