Supports Stateful Switchover (SSO) and Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF). When paired with dual supervisors, this image ensures that a supervisor failure does not drop active data sessions.
Running this binary on unsupported hardware can cause boot loops or unrecognized supervisor modules. This image is built for modular and fixed deployments using .
