Failover Group
Failover groups are designed to combine one or more contexts into a failover group. A
security appliance uses failover groups to manage virtual contexts as explained in Chapter 9,
“Security Contexts.” A Security Appliance can only support up to two failover groups. Each
failover group in a Security Appliance contains separate state machines that keep track of a
failover group’s contexts failover state.
In Figure 12-2, Context 1 on the primary and secondary Security Appliances are grouped
together into failover Group 1. Context 2 of each Security Appliance is grouped into failover
Group 2.
