Hi Everyone, thank you very much for your help in advance...

I would like to ask if you can help if you can interpret each line of the following commands means, and how the failover works (with the settings below)?

############################

failover
failover lan unit primary
failover lan interface failover Management0/0
failover polltime unit 3 holdtime 9
failover replication http
failover link failover Management0/0
failover interface ip failover 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.240 standby 192.168.0.2
icmp unreachable rate-limit 1 burst-size 1
