The target marked Active is the target currently connected to your client computer.

7.5.10. Test Failover

In this task, disable the network card or turn off the server that hosts one of the root targets for the \\domain\Public namespace. Do the same for a server that hosts one of the folder targets for the Tools folder. After the network cards are disabled or the servers are turned off, repeat the procedures in "Task 9: Browse the Namespace." The procedures should work because another server continues to host the \\domain\Public namespace and the Tools folder.
