How Can I Test Active/Standby Switchover?

Active/standby switchover is performed once the priorities of VGMP groups change. The priorities cannot be manually changed. You can use either of the following methods to change the priorities:

Manually disable a member interface in the VRRP group on the active firewall to trigger active/standby switchover. If the switchover fails, services are interrupted.
Manually disable an idle interface on the active firewall and add the interface to the VGMP group.

How to Update the Signature Database on the Standby Firewall?

The commands for online signature database updates can be automatically synchronized to the standby firewall. The active and standby firewalls download the latest signature database as scheduled from the security center. Besides, when you manually update the signature database on the active firewall, the update is automatically implemented on the standby firewall.

Does Hot Standby Require a License?

The hot standby function does not require a license.

If other services require a license, ensure that licenses with the same specifications are activated on both the active and standby firewalls. Otherwise, services may be interrupted.

What Do I Do If HRP NOTICE: The active and standby firewall have inconsistent VRRP configurations. Is Displayed?

The VRRP configurations on the active and standby devices are inconsistent. In this case, run the display vrrp command to check the VRRP configurations of the devices.
