FMC - Monitor this interface for failures

ABaker94985 — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 16:34:40 GMT

We have a pair of Firepower 4110s configured as HA. Under the High Availability tab, we have a mixture of some interfaces having both "Monitor this interface for failures" selected and a Standby IP Address entered. On other interfaces, we only have "Monitor this interface for failures" without a Standby IP Address. In both cases, we have both active and standby MAC addresses entered. I'm having difficulty tracking down whether or not a standby IP address is needed, or if the MAC addresses alone are adequate. Can anyone help with this? Thanks

its good to configure IP address also along with Virtual MAC Address : refer below guide :
