This command shows whether failover is enabled on the Sensor, the status of the peer Sensor, forward peer STP, and the fail-open action of the Sensor.

Syntax:

show failover-status

Information displayed by the show failover-status command includes the following:

  • Failover Enabled: The command will return -
    • YES: If failover is enabled
    • NO: If failover is disabled
    • UNKNOWN: If it is not explicitly set
  • Peer Status: Shows if failover is enabled, and whether the peer Sensor is UP or DOWN
  • Forward Peer STP: Displays if failovermode forward-peer-stp is set to enabled or disabled

    Note

    Forward STP can be enabled only on these Sensors M-3050, M-4050, M-6050, and M-8000.

  • Fail-open Action: Shows whether the monitoring port for fail-open is enabled or disabled

    Note

    When you enable fail-open on a HA pair, the same monitoring ports are enabled for fail-open on both the primary and secondary Sensors.
