Hello S Blakely,
Thank you for the prompt response. I checked the link you provided. I have very little or no knowledge about Load Aware. When I set Advanced Setup Options > Failover Method to Load Aware, update and click Force to Standby, does the second device (current Standby) automatically turns into Active or do I have to add extra settings to make the second device to Active?
What I want to achieve is:
- Perform maintenance task on current Standby.
- Force the current Active to Standby, so that the second device becomes Active.
- The traffic flows towards the new Active device and it processes them with no problem.
- Perform maintenance task on device forced to Standby.
I want to know about the safest way to achieve above, without data/config sync problems.
Thank You
