We have a site(Spoke) where we have one internet and MPLS circuit terminating on ION 3K. We have set up HA on ion 3k.
This site doesn't have a DIA Internet circuit but a Shared one and gets IP from DHCP.
The problem is when failover happens(bouncing Lan2 which is being tracked) the site goes down. Any suggestions?

Hi @mohit.kukreti
Bouncing LAN2 interface will trigger HA fail-over process but as soon as the primary device LAN2 interface goes up/up it will again claim for the HA-Active role.
I recommend unplugging the cable from LAN 2 interface and waiting for the skew time to the secondary device to take an active role. (The skew time is calculated by taking 256 – the router priority / 256)
Once the secondary device is HA-Active it will request for DHCP IP to wan router and then start forwarding traffic.
It is recommended to use a static IP address on WAN side to minimize the fail over time.
helpful commands...
#dump spoke-ha status ===> to check device HA state.
#dump interface status internet1 ===> to check if the device got IP address from DHCP.
#inspect flow brief ==> to see if traffic is working fine.
