Example 8: LAN-Based Active/Standby Failover (Routed Mode)
Figure B-7 shows the network diagram for a failover configuration using an Ethernet failover link. The
units are configured to detect unit failures and to fail over in under a second (see the failover polltime
unit command in the primary unit configuration).
