Hi,

I've configured two ACE appliances with redundance (fault-tolerance VLAN).

Since the following messages appears on ACE's :

Can you show us the config of the admin context ?

Have you allocated mac address pools with different numbers ?

shared-vlan-hostid / peer shared-vlan-hostid

Yep.

Also can you give us the output of the "show ft group detail" ?

strange, you have different mac addresses on both units. The standby unit should never reply to arp requests

Open a case, I don't know why the second ACE sends ARP messages.

Is there any impact on the service ? Arp collisions in L2 adjacent devices ?

Maybe this issue is purely cosmetic.

Hi Surya,

So, I've open a case by Cisco... and we've found the solution to my problem!

To help the communities I put the solution here :

I've configure one ft group for the Admin context and for the vlan in Admin context all was good!

But I've a another context and I don't have configure a ft group for this context and that was the problem...

Each context should be or must be defined by one ft group.

That's it

Best regards
