Re: [FW-1] AW: [FW-1] Problem about High Availability of SBFC



Hello,

when the node which handels the connection (are you sure it is the right
node? Take a look at the firewall log...) fails and changes its state to
offline, do you lose the ftp-connection after some time?
Normally the (offline) gateway will be closed for any traffic.
If you use a crosslinked twisted pair cable, the test will fail on both
nodes.
Probably the last node will work on, however it should be down.
To be sure -> forceoffline...

Regards
  Andre
