Verifying System Failover Configuration

Configuring System Failover
Note that if there the System Failover configuration already exists, it will overwrite.
LYSH@MyHostName# configure configure# failover add 192.168.0.1/24 eth0 mykey 192.168.0.2 active 120 configure# failover show vip=192.168.0.1/24 iface=eth0 secret=mykey host=192.168.0.2 initmode=active curmode= curmode_dt=- peermode= peermode_dt=- deadtime=120 state=disabled last_error_msg=No error
Enabling System Failover
The System Failover does not work before enabling the System Failover.
LYSH@MyHostName# configure configure# failover enable configure# failover show vip=192.168.0.1/24 iface=eth0 secret=mykey host=192.168.0.2 initmode=active curmode= curmode_dt=- peermode= peermode_dt=- deadtime=120 state=enabled last_error_msg=No error
Disabling System Failover
To stop the System Failover, use the disable command.
If you enable the System Failover after disabling it, the System Failover works again.
LYSH@MyHostName# configure configure# failover disable configure# failover show vip=192.168.0.1/24 iface=eth0 secret=mykey host=192.168.0.2 initmode=active curmode= curmode_dt=- peermode= peermode_dt=- deadtime=120 state=disabled last_error_msg=No error
Deleting System Failover configuration
Note that if you deleted it, the System Failover does not work before configuring it.
LYSH@MyHostName# configure configure# failover delete
