The load balancers share one public IP address. Only one server at a time is assigned that address. To failover: 1. Physically isolate the failed load balancer by removing power and/or disabling its Ethernet port on the switch. 2. Assign the shared public IP address to the new active load balancer. 3. Broadcast an unsolicited ARP reply from the new active load balancer.
