Failover testing
To failover a device from the functional role to suspended role you’ll need to perform the following steps:
1. From within the GUI select Device > High-Availability.
2. Towards the top right of the user interface you’ll notice the following; If the FW is currently the master ‘Suspend’ will be displayed, if the FW is currently the slave ‘functional’ will be displayed.
3. To force the current master into slave mode you’ll need to click suspend or use the following command:
>request high-availability state suspend
4. This will automatically put the slave device into functional mode. You may miss 1 ping during this transition.
