How to check Failover ( backup servers)?

bsrinu001 · ‎07-31-2017

Hi Team,

Good day !

We, have four processing ESA C670 severs, they are back up to each other (Inbound/Out bounds) designed long ago.

Could you please let us know how to check which servers are failover to other?

Many Thanks

Hi,

Suspending the listener mimics a failure and will force traffic to other MX records. You can either use the "suspendlistener" command in the CLI or go to [System Administration -> Shutdown/Suspend] in the GUI to suspend the listener.

ESA is not configured to be a failover, it would depend on the MX records or if there is a load balancer in place making that decision.

Hi Libin,

Thank you for your prompt responses.. !!

Please, suggest how to see load balancer is in place? is any documents to refer?

If a load balancer is being used would need to be confirmed by your network team as it is outside the ESA.
