Network requirements

In Figure 28, Device A and Device B are deployed for stateful failover in an enterprise network to provide

Internet access. They both run NAT to provide IP address translation.

It is required to:

• Configure the devices to back up each other, so that when one device fails, the other device takes

over the services to ensure service continuity.

• Enable automatic configuration synchronization from Device A (active device) to Device B (standby

device).
