Verifying the Failover Configuration
Primary or Secondary • Active—The module is in active mode.
• Standby—The module is in standby mode,
• Disabled—The module has failover disabled, or the failover link is
not configured.
• Listen—The module is attempting to discover an active module by
listening for polling messages.
• Learn—The module detected an active module, and is not
synchronizing the configuration before going to standby mode.
• Failed—The module is failed.
Active time: n (sec)
The amount of time the module has been in the active state. This time
is cumulative, so the standby module, if it was active in the past, will
also show a value.
[context_name] Interface
name (n.n.n.n):
For each interface, the display shows the IP address currently being
used on each module, as well as one of the following conditions:
• Failed—The interface has failed.
• Link Down—The interface line protocol is down.
• Normal—The interface is working correctly.
• No Link—The interface has been administratively shut down.
• Unknown—The FWSM cannot determine the status of the
interface.
• (Waiting)—The interface has not yet received any polling
messages from the other module.
• (Autostate Down)—The interface is marked as autostate down.
• Testing—The interface is being tested.
In multiple context mode, the context name appears before each
interface.

• xmit—Number of transmitted packets to the other module.
• xerr—Number of errors that occurred while transmitting packets to
