I am on an SRX300 with 15.x . I have an Avaya cluster of switches on the network. That cluster of switches has a failover to each unit, much like the chassis cluster of the srx series. I'm in an environment where it is a bit hostile in that I have an appliance(air conditioner) with a problem. I'm not ready to fix the AC yet because I need it this way. Dont ask about the AC unless you mean to get a thorough answer, lol. Anyway, the reason I need to know about failover has to do with my environment. Because I have my lan side setup a certain way I'm deciding that putting code in the srx to effectively give meaning to the Avaya cluster. I know these things have a way of operating properly themselves however I think it isnt.
Here is my rig.
SRX -> Asus AP(router mode) -> Asus(Wifi media bridge) -> Avaya Stack(with failover).
Questions....
1. Can I route a failover group or something the like to that lan side cluster?
2. Usually i think redundancy is part of the failover scheme, so can i do only one, both or what?
3. Can I do this without a reth interface, but with just ge-X/X/X.x or fe or what?
4. Is this even plausible?
I realize that chassis cluster is local to the SRX, but I'm talking about doing this to get failover to operate through routing or similar and not on the SRX, but to another cluster in the lan side.
