Monitoring the Firewall State
By default, IPSO monitors the state of the firewall and responds appropriately. If a VRRP master
detects that the firewall is not ready to handle traffic or is not functioning properly, the master
fails over to a backup system. If all the firewalls on all the systems in the VRRP group are not
ready to forward traffic, no traffic will be forwarded.
To enable or disable Monitor Firewall state
1. Click VRRP under Configuration > High Availability in the tree view.
2. Click Enabled in the Monitor Firewall State field.
To disable this option, if you have enabled it, click Disabled. The default is Enabled.
3. Click Apply
4. Click Save to make your changes permanent.

General Configuration Considerations
If VRRP failover does not occur as expected, verify that the following items are correctly
configured.
All routers of a VRRP group must have the same system times. The simplest way to
synchronize times is to enable NTP on all nodes of the VRRP group. You can also manually
change the time and time zone on each node so that it matches the other nodes. It should
match to within a few seconds.
All routers of a VRRP group must have the same hello interval.
