Failover

Use the Failover object to configure up to five IP addresses for tunnel endpoint (TEP) for the security gateways. These IP addresses are used for failover locations in the case of VPN or clear traffic failure.

Figure 73: Failover Tab

When Failover is configured, a security gateway periodically checks connectivity to designated devices to evaluate the availability of the network path to the central-site resources. These devices can be within the VPN, such as the corporate e-mail server at the central site. These devices can also be outside the VPN, such as a public DNS server.

When a network path fails, the remote security gateway tries to establish a network path through an alternate central-site. If the remote security gateway cannot use that second central-site TEP to establish a network path, the remote security gateway continues through the list of configured TEPs, and tries to establish a usable network path to the central-site resources. If none of the configured tunnels can establish a network path, and the remote security gateway is configured with a public-backup interface, the remote device tries to establish a path through this alternate link.When the public-backup zone is in use, the security gateway does not perform failover connectivity-checks to the designated hosts. When the idle timer is enabled, and as long as there is traffic, this alternate network link is used. If the configured idle time elapses, the public-backup interface is taken down. The security gateway then tries to reestablish the network connectivity through the primary network path.
