Hi,

I am configuring failover on two ACE 4710 device using a dedicated interface (gig1/4) connected to a switch with same VLAN. Below are my ACE ft config:

ACE1:

--------

Admin context

interface gigabitEthernet 1/4
  ft-port vlan 30
  no shutdown

ft interface vlan 30
  ip address 9.9.9.1 255.255.255.0
  peer ip address 9.9.9.2 255.255.255.0
  no shutdown

ft peer 1
  heartbeat interval 300
  heartbeat count 20
  ft-interface vlan 30
ft group 1
  peer 1
  priority 200
  associate-context test
  inservice

test context

-----------------

ft track interface track_vlan14
  track-interface vlan 14
  peer track-interface vlan 14
  priority 200
  peer priority 100

ACE2:

---------

Admin context

interface gigabitEthernet 1/4
  ft-port vlan 30
  no shutdown

ft interface vlan 30
  ip address 9.9.9.2 255.255.255.0
  peer ip address 9.9.9.1 255.255.255.0
  no shutdown

ft peer 1
  heartbeat interval 300
  heartbeat count 20
  ft-interface vlan 30
ft group 1
  peer 1
  peer priority 200
  associate-context test
  inservice

test context

-----------------

ft track interface track_vlan14
  track-interface vlan 14
  peer track-interface vlan 14
  priority 100
  peer priority 200

Below is the ft peer result:

LB# sh ft peer summary

Peer Id                      : 1
State                        : FSM_PEER_STATE_DOWN
Maintenance mode             : MAINT_MODE_OFF
FT Vlan                      : 30
FT Vlan IF State             : UP
My IP Addr                   : 9.9.9.1
Peer IP Addr                 : 9.9.9.2
Query Vlan                   : Not Configured
Query Vlan IF State          : DOWN
Peer Query IP Addr           : 0.0.0.0
Heartbeat Interval           : 300
Heartbeat Count              : 20
SRG Compatibility            : INIT
License Compatibility        : INIT
FT Groups                    : 1

ACE are configured in one arm mode. The problem is ft IP is not reachable from any of the ACE. I am getting arp request on the switch but not on ACE devices. Not sure what's the problem.

Thanks,

Pawan
