Failover Methods?

[laamidd2003]

Hi all,

How do folks handle failover for say a MARS box? Will future models address this issue, or does Cisco see this as a non-issue for a MARS?

Thanks,

Bob

Enable logging on the firewall device.

Before a firewall device can generate syslog messages, you must enable logging for one or more interfaces. In addition, if you configured your firewall device in a failover pair, you can specify the standby firewall device to generate syslog messages as well. You can enable the device to ensure that the standby unit's syslog messages stay synchronized if failover occurs. However, this option results in twice as much traffic on the MARS Appliance.
