Hi sebastan,

Management interface should not be used for the failover feature.

Infact, It will not allow the traffic to pass through it. we can use this interface for managing the device over the network.

Use any dedicated ethernet port.

Hope it helps.

We are using management interface as failover link and it's working fine. The only thing is that it's only 100MB connection comapre to all GIG interfaces.
