Actually, sounds like no.
If we can believe this thread, administratively downing the interface in the sim will not work.

Sorry.. I should have provided that info,
I did set the interfaces to nfo and set:
options cf.takeover.on_network_interface_failure.policy any_nic
options cf.takeover.on_network_interface_failure on
For those of you that use these setting on real H/W.. does a "ifconfig down" trigger the failover? Or does the interface have to actually fail or be unplugged?
Thanks. Paul

I may be mis-remembering, but don't you need to add "nfo" to the ifconfig lines in your rc file, so that OnTap knows to kick off a fail over if that particular interface fails?

With your current ifconfig down test, is “options cf.takeover.on_network_interface_failure” set applicably?
