Hi,
We have two ACE 30 module in two Cat 6k with multiple contexts. And our requirement is to have both the boxes active for some context. We have configured the ft vlan, ft peer and ft group for each context on ACE level. And on Cat 6k, L2 vlan is created for ft and mapped with ACE service module with svlvc command. The interface on switch used for ft is configured as Access port with ft vlan. But when we try to do Failover testing by shutting down the upstream link of ACE2, the active context on the ACE2 is not failing over to ACE1. Let me know whether we need to do any additional configuration to achieve this.? . The running configuration is as below,
@ Cat 6K,
!
Vlan 999
name ft_vlan
!
svclc multiple-vlan-interfaces
svclc module 2 vlan-group 100
svclc vlan-group 100 201,203, 999
!
int gi 1/3
switchport
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 999
!
@ ACE 30,
ft interface vlan 999
ip address 2.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
peer ip address 2.1.1.2 255.255.255.252
no shutdown
ft peer 1
heartbeat interval 100
heartbeat count 10
ft-interface vlan 999
ft group 1
peer 1
priority 105
peer priority 90
associate-context Admin
inservice
ft track interface INT-VLAN-203
track-interface vlan 203
priority 100
peer priority 50
!
ft group 2
peer 1
priority 105
peer priority 90
associate-context Context1
inservice
ft group 3
peer 1
priority 90
peer priority 105
associate-context Context2
inservice
ft group 4
peer 1
priority 105
peer priority 90
associate-context Context3
inservice
Thanks in advance,

Hello Divya!
It should work assuming the following:
1.) You have a trunk/portchannel between the ACE's will all vlans each context is using including 999 for FT)
2.) You are using bridged mode on ACE or one-armed with on alias. OR you are using routed mode with an alias IP that is used as the server gateway.
Can you login to the admin context on each ACE and issue "show ft group detail" and send it back to the alias? Also, "show run interface"/"show run rserver" from each context would be useful to see the way you have the configuration setup.
