You can set the sensors to fail open, but only the 4260 has a hardware failopen capability. This means that the other sensors have to fail in such a way that they KNOW that they've failed in order to pass traffic around the sensor. In my experience this is not a reasonable assumption to make and you would be better serviced making other failopen arraingements with an eaternal switch.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:34:34 GMT rhermes 2009-10-26T16:34:34Z IPS 4260 failover https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-4260-failover/m-p/1304313#M68361 <P>Do they support active passive failover. And can you just use one sensor and set it to fail open?</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 11:48:38 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-4260-failover/m-p/1304313#M68361 networker99 2019-03-10T11:48:38Z Re: IPS 4260 failover https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/ips-4260-failover/m-p/1304314#M68362 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The is no statefull failover for the Cisco IPS Sensors.
