Abstract
Example embodiments relate to automatic cluster-based failover handling. In example embodiments, a first node included in a high availability cluster may receive a failure signal from a second node included in the high availability cluster, where the failure signal indicates a failure in the second node. The failure signal may also indicate a second port in the second node that is or will be inactive due to the failure, the second port being associated with a second port address. The first node may activate a first port of the first node, where the first port was previously inactive before being activated. The first node may assign a first port address to the first port, wherein the first port address is the same as the second port address.
