Configuring High Availability Support
This section discusses the high availability options. It contains the following sections:
■ Configuring Fail-over Device Support
■ Configuring System Recovery
■ Configuring Exception Recovery
Configuring Fail-over Device Support
For high-availability, the SafeGuard Controller device must be configured to populate the
authentication state to a fail-over device.
To take configure the SafeGuard Controller device to accommodate high-availability:
1 Ensure that the devices in the topology have identical versions and identical
configurations.
2 Ensure that cabling to the downstream and upstream devices are the same. For
example, if an edge switch is connected to port 5 on the device, the same edge
switch must also be connected to port 5 on the redundant device.
3 Ensure that the system is configured to reboot (default) should there be a critical
error. If the devices are set in fail-passthru mode, the redundant system does not
take over traffic when a crucial error occurs. The traffic continues to pass through
