IPS mid-session pickup

dungtt — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 15:46:15 GMT

Hi,

i have 2 IPS deployed in inline mode standalone. Normally, traffic only run through 1 IPS. If i switch traffic from active ones to another, how can i achieve the mid-session pickup so that traffic will not be interrupted? is there any feature i can use?

Hello @dungtt

Stateful Failover or Session Resilience are mechanism that allows the second IPS to take over the active sessions seamlessly without dropping packets or disrupting ongoing connections. This is typically part of the high availability features provided by advanced IPS solutions.

Yes i know Stateful Failover or Session Resilience are mechanism of high availability features but my IPSs are running standalone to take advance of the hardware bypass module (which is not using in HA mode).
