The Brocade ADX offers 3 types of HA. There are :<\/p>\n
Sym Active-Standby<\/strong> – Sym Active-Standby is only available on Router code. Both devices receive traffic but only the VIP with the highest sym-priority processes the traffic. Sym Active-Active<\/strong> – Sym Active-Active is only available on Router code. Both devices receive traffic, traffic for each VIP can processed by either ADX. Switch Mode<\/strong> – Switch Mode is only available on Switch code. One ADX is always active whilst the other ADX is standby. <\/p>\n
Sym Active-Standby<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Below is the configuration for Sym Active-Standby. <\/p>\n
It is important to note that when configuring the VRID the command ‘backup priority 105 track-priority 10’ defines :<\/p>\n
\n
priority<\/strong> – The priority of the device. The device with the highest priority is elected as mater.<\/li>\n
track-priority<\/strong> – This is the value that is subtracted from the priority should one of the tracked ports fail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Next each Virtual Server is assigned a sym-priority. The system with a Virtual Server with the highest Sym Priority processes the traffic. Each Virtual Server IP is assigned to a VIP Group and finally each port profile is configured to synchronize sessions between nodes.<\/p>\n
