Configuring Hot Standby of Virtual Systems

Different from that in the single-node networking, implementing the virtual system function in the hot standby networking has special requirements. Before configuring hot standby in virtual systems, you need to understand the implementation principles, configuration requirements, and configuration methods of hot standby in virtual systems.

Understanding Hot Standby of Virtual Systems: Before deploying virtual systems in the hot standby networking, understand the implementation mechanism and key configuration points of hot standby in the virtual systems.

CLI: Example for Configuring Hot Standby (Active/Standby) of Virtual Systems on Firewalls Connecting to Switches in Upstream and Downstream Directions: This section provides a CLI example of how to configure hot standby in active/standby mode in which the service interfaces of each FW work at Layer 3 and connect to switches after virtual systems are configured on the FW.

CLI: Example for Configuring Hot Standby (Active/Standby) of Virtual Systems on Firewalls Connecting to Upstream Routers and Downstream Switches: This section provides an example of how to configure hot standby in active/standby mode in which the service interfaces of each FW work at Layer 3 and connect respectively to upstream routers or downstream switches after virtual systems are configured on the FW.

CLI: Example for Configuring Hot Standby (Load Balancing) of Virtual Systems on Firewalls Connecting to Switches in Upstream and Downstream Directions: This section provides an example of how to configure hot standby in load balancing mode in which the service interfaces of each FW work at Layer 3 and connect to switches after virtual systems are configured on the FW.

Web: Example for Configuring Hot Standby (Load Balancing) of Virtual Systems on Firewalls Connecting to Upstream Routers Through the Public System and Downstream Subnets Through Virtual Systems: This section provides a Web example for configuring hot standby in load balancing mode in which multiple virtual systems configured on the FW connect to different downstream subnets through switches and share an upstream public system interface to connect to routers.
