    Hi,

    On a cluster, we have 2 networks i.e private network and public network.

    Private network is used for cluster communication(LooksAlive and IsAlive checks) and Public network is used for client applications to connect.

    Now my question is, what happens if Private network is down. Does it have any effect on cluster? or Does it failback to Public network?

    I have only theoretical knowledge and I haven't worked on clusters. Just wanted to know what happens when private network goes down?

    Thanks in advance.

    When the private network goes down cluster communications will carry on through the public network. Loss of a private network does not initiate a failover. The loss of the public network will initiate a failover since this is the network clients connect through.
