Need to know how will be my failover works here as Meraki works as warmspare i.e failover would only happen if there's a connectivity loss with dashboard, while FTD support link, device, path failover.</P> <P>MX1 single link to FTD1</P> <P>MX2 single link to FTD2</P> <P>Just a thought if I do criss cross connectivity between Mx and FTD, would my Active FTD connected to both Mx's forward traffic to Spare Mx also and that traffic would be drop ?</P> <P>Pls help</P> Fri, 08 Aug 2025 03:51:34 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-query/m-p/5318727#M1122150 Vishal6 2025-08-08T03:51:34Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-query/m-p/5318742#M1122151 <P>With warm-spare MX, if traffic hits the standby in a criss-cross setup, it’ll probably just get dropped since only the active one passes traffic until failover occurs.</P> Fri, 08 Aug 2025 05:58:35 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-query/m-p/5318742#M1122151 ZaynFow 2025-08-08T05:58:35Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-query/m-p/5318750#M1122152 <P>So it will be disruption in network ? or link from active FTD to spare MX would not processed traffic and all traffic will go via active Ftd to active Mx ?</P> Fri, 08 Aug 2025 06:38:51 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/failover-query/m-p/5318750#M1122152 Vishal6 2025-08-08T06:38:51Z
