Configuring Failover
This section includes the following topics:
• Enabling HTTP Replication with Stateful Failover, page 11-21
• Disabling and Enabling Interface Monitoring, page 11-21
• Configuring Interface and Unit Poll Times, page 11-22
• Configuring Failover Criteria, page 11-22
• Configuring Virtual MAC Addresses, page 11-22
Enabling HTTP Replication with Stateful Failover
To allow HTTP connections to be included in the state information replication, you need to enable HTTP
replication. Because HTTP connections are typically short-lived, and because HTTP clients typically
retry failed connection attempts, HTTP connections are not automatically included in the replicated state
information.
Enter the following command in global configuration mode to enable HTTP state replication when
Stateful Failover is enabled:
hostname(config)# failover replication http
Disabling and Enabling Interface Monitoring
By default, monitoring of physical interfaces is enabled and monitoring of subinterfaces is disabled. You
can monitor up to 250 interfaces on a unit. You can control which interfaces affect your failover policy
by disabling the monitoring of specific interfaces and enabling the monitoring of others. This lets you
exclude interfaces attached to less critical networks from affecting your failover policy.
For units in multiple configuration mode, use the following commands to enable or disable health
monitoring for specific interfaces:
• To disable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command within a context:
hostname/context(config)# no monitor-interface
if_name
• To enable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command within a context:
hostname/context(config)# monitor-interface
if_name
For units in single configuration mode, use the following commands to enable or disable health
monitoring for specific interfaces:
• To disable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command in global configuration
mode:
hostname(config)# no monitor-interface
if_name
• To enable health monitoring for an interface, enter the following command in global configuration
mode:
hostname(config)# monitor-interface
if_name
