McAfee® Network Security Platform 6.0 Defining the Network Security Platform Failover Pair
It is very easy to see the details of the port status across all Sensors from the View Details
page at the Sensors level:
Figure 17: Sensor status and operational details
For additional details, you can dive down on the current failover status for a given interface
from the View Details page of that interface:
Figure 18: CIDR Interface Details Example
In the previous figure you will notice that the logical operational status of the interface is
UP, but the operational status for the secondary Sensor is DOWN. This means the failover
pair is working as planned, but there is an issue with the physical Sensor. (As it turns out,
the wires have been pulled from the 3A/3B port pair on the secondary Sensor here.)
