VSX High Availability

This section describes VSX High Availability features. In a VSX environment, you can work with one of two High Availability scenarios:

In VSX Gateway High Availability, each VSX Cluster Member functions as a VSX Gateway and is synchronized with the other VSX Cluster Members. If one member goes down, it immediately fails over to another member. Likewise, if an individual Virtual System, Virtual Router or Virtual Switch goes down, the entire VSX Cluster Member fails over to another member. All VSX Cluster Members and Virtual Systems function in an Active/Standby mode and are continuously synchronized.

VSX Gateway High Availability

VSX Gateway High Availability is the default cluster configuration. All VSX Cluster Members of a VSX Cluster must be configured to use the same clustering mode.
