Hi all,
I have an environment setup in GNS to learn about HA.
I have the units bonded together and I can confirm that the HA is working as expected, if i drop a link, then the HA activates, and traffic passes over the other. And if i restore the link, and reset the uptime counter, traffic is restored.
However, When its in HA mode, and i simulate the failure by removing the WAN link on the 'primary' unit, i cant access the UI at all using the MGMT ip (which i now expect to be the original 'passive' unit). until i restore the link i have broken, and revert the HA uptime timer using the CLI
I have the interfaces so that port 5 is wan for each, connected to an upstream switch which is the wan.
I have port 10 configured as my 'mgmt' interface
and port 9 is the HA Heart beat cable
and i can access the GUI normally under normal circumstances using port 10 on 192.168.100.41. however, when i remove the link, then this breaks, and i cant access it at all.
Is that expected? or have i goofed somewhere? I would have thought that since the passive unit is essentially a mirror copy of the primary, when it becomes the active unit, it should respond on the 'mgmt' ip?
