Session Failover for Active-Standby Configurations

Although group-based VRRP is supported for active-standby configurations, it is not required in
order to enable session failover for active-standby configurations. However, group-based VRRP is
required in order to enable session failover for hot standby configurations.
A VLAN dedicated to interswitch traffic (VLAN 6) is required to avoid network loops. The interswitch
link does not require IP interfaces in the VLAN.
You do not need to enable the Spanning Tree protocol in active-standby configurations.
To enable session failover for active-standby configurations
1. Connect an interswitch link.
2. Enable interswitch on connected ports.
>> /cfg/slb/port x/intersw
Enter VLAN Number: 202
Current inter-switch processing: disabled
Enter new inter-switch processing [d/e]: e
3. Enable service based session failover.
>>/cfg/slb/virt x/service 80/mirror ena
