Field Information for the Failover Panes
Logical Name—Specifies the logical interface used for failover communication. If you selected
the Use Named option in the Interface drop-down list, this field displays a list of named
interfaces. This field is dimmed if the LAN Failover interface is selected in the Interface
drop-down list.
Standby IP—Specifies the IP address used by the secondary unit to communicate with the
primary unit. This field is dimmed if the LAN Failover interface or Use Named option is
selected in the Interface drop-down list.
Enable HTTP replication—Selecting this check box enables Stateful Failover to copy active
HTTP sessions to the standby firewall. If you do not allow HTTP replication, then HTTP
connections are disconnected at failover. Disabling HTTP replication reduces the amount of
traffic on the state link.
