So I've decided to try and set up a second firewall in my home VMWare cluster as a passive device, and as far as I can tell they are both set up correctly (see image below). However, when I go into VMWare and disconnect the WAN link from the active firewall, nothing happens, other than I lose my internet connection. On doing some research I did see that the 'Link Monitoring' is not supported for virtual devices, so does that mean under VMWare Active-passive is really only meant for VM failure or host failure?
