Why are the interfaces active for a stanby unit? The Standby unit is not offline, it is still processing traffic for the non floating self-IP or IP's associated to the vlan for which that interface is listed as a resource in the configuration. The non-floating IP's are always reachable on the standby unit, it is the floating IP for the VLAN of the HA pair that swaps back and forth based on the Active or Standy status. The interface does not go down.
When you look at the ARP tables on the firewalls is the MAC for the floating IP consistent or does it change when you failover/failback?
