In a VSX Cluster, Virtual Switches are also clustered for redundancy and are defined as Active/Active.
By means of the ClusterXL Control Protocol (CCP), the physical interface connected to the Virtual Switch is monitored. In the event of a failover, all Virtual Systems on Standby become Active, and send Gratuitous ARP Requests from the warp interface between the Virtual System and the Virtual Switch.

In the above figure, a simplified VSX Cluster contains two VSX Cluster Members, one Active, and the other Standby. The Virtual Switches within each VSX Cluster are Active/Active. When the physical interface connected to either Virtual Switch fails to respond, a failover occurs.
