Hi,

My assumption without seeing the configuration is that one of your monitored interfaces is unstable. This would prompt a failed interface check, thus causing a firewall failover.

If you issue the command; ‘sh failover stat’ this will provide a bit more context as to which interface caused the failover event.

Are any other context showing the same behaviour?

Hi,

Unstable monitored interface then?
