Hi all,

Hope you all are doing good.

Please help me on below.

We have two FTD 9300 installed in our setup in active standby.

Yesterday there was a failover we want to lnow why failover happend and when.

Is it possible to find it from FMC ? If so then how ?

Or if its possible from FTD please let me know how ?

Thanks

The best place is from the FTD cli:

show failover history

Hi Mervin, Thanks for your response.

Actually in our setup both IPS are standalone no HA.

For one instance IPS A would be Active and B would be Standby

and for second instance IPS B would be Active and A would be standby

in such case how to find out when and why instance one traffic moved form IPS A to B

If you are not using High Availability (HA), how does your design designate one unit as Active and the other as Standby?
