Hello,
I was testing the FTD failover (version 7.4.2.1) for one of my customers yesterday. I mainly tested ICMP and HTTP downloads during the failover.
My test process is as follows
1- Started a continuous ping to 8.8.8.8
2- Downloaded a large file via HTTP
3- Initiate a failover
Results:
1- The ICMP had maximum 4 request timeouts
2- The HTTP download was stuck for some time and then it failed with error "Could not download file. Network Error"
I already have failover replication http (checked in the CLI of FTD) enabled, So my expectation is that the HTTP sessions should not break and the download should start automatically after the failover. I confirmed that the the connections are synced between the firewalls.
Please advise.
