VRRP Firewall Failover Proving Schedule

EdinburghKev · #1 (**permalink**) 2006-10-30

I have been asked to come up with some bullet points around how we can prove our VRRP implementation works and how we prove it works going forward.

I cannot just failover firewalls and say yes or no to whether it works because of the environment I work in. I have about 60 pairs of firewalls using VRRP.

Can anyone advise me which direction I should go with on this? I can recommend we failover a particular firewall each month etc but I think they are looking for a bit more.

Many thanks.

are you also using state sync?

i guess you could telnet to a host behind the firewall, failover to the standby firewall, then make sure the connection is still established?
