6. Create at least one FT group on each ACE.
host1/Admin(config)# ft group 1
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)#
7. Associate a context with each FT group. You must associate the local
context and the corresponding peer context with the same FT group.
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# associate-context C1
8. Associate the peer context with the FT group.
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# peer 1
9. (Optional) Configure the priority of the FT group on the local appliance.
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# priority 100
10. (Optional) Configure the priority of the FT group on the peer appliance.
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# peer priority 200
11. Place the FT group in service.
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# inservice
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# exit
12. (Optional) Configure one or more critical objects (gateways or hosts, or
interfaces) to track for switchover. For example, to configure a critical
interface for tracking, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# ft track interface TRACK_VLAN100
host1/Admin(config-ft-track-intf)# track-i
nterface vlan 100
host1/Admin(config-ft-track-intf)# peer tr
ack-interface vlan 200
host1/Admin(config-ft-track-intf)# priorit
y 50
host1/Admin(config-ft-track-intf)# peer pr
iority 150
host1/Admin(config-ft-track-intf)# exit
13. (Optional) Enable autosynchronization of the running- and/or
startup-configuration file from the active to the standby context.
host1/Admin(config)# ft auto-sync running-config
host1/Admin(config)# ft auto-sync startup-
config
