Keep a
cold standby with the same IPs as your primary. You can do
simulated
testing with a few hubs and laptops. Do an after hours DR test by
shutting down
your
primary, swap over your ethernet cables, and reboot your secondary
(interfaces
must
be seen as active coming up or else the fw software will not bind to the
interfaces).
When
your secondary is up and running and you are satisfied with results,
switch
them
back.

Subject: [FW-1] Disaster Recovery Testing and LicensesHello everyone,
If anyone out there performs any kind of DR testing, how do you go about handling the license? Obviously, it is tied to a specific IP address, and this poses an issue when assigned a different IP at the DR testing facility.
TIA!
