Installation guide
McAfee® Network Security Platform 6.0
Verifying the failover configuration
1 Cold start both Sensors.
2 Reconnect the cabling between them.
3 Recreate the failover pair.
4 If GBICs are used, confirm that McAfee supplied them.
Caution: Non-McAfee GBICs are known to create problems. If the GBICs used are
not from McAfee pricelist, temporarily swap them out for those that are before
spending more time troubleshooting.
If they are communicating:
1 Capture packets simultaneously on both redundant paths. This will provide a full
picture of the data flow, and no doubt insight into the problem.
