 I have one appliance v5000 G2 and two Cisco core switches. The core switches are using VRRP for redundancy for the access switches. Currently, when one core goes down, we have to manually move the cable of the Websense to the other switch. Is there anyway that I can automate this failover process with one appliance. Can the appliance configure with a default gateway or VRRP? Thanks

You are using Websense Content Gateway, right? Websense does support VRRP in explicit deplyment of WSG. Multiple proxies can provide for redundancy using Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). Using a single IP address, requests are sent to an alternate proxy in the event of failure. VRRP is not invoked until there is a failure with one of the proxies. See RFC 3768 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3768#section-2.4) for information on VRRP.
Or you can utilize the Virtual IP Failover funtion of WSG. Please refer to this document on that: http://www.websense.com/content/support/library/web/v76/wcg_help/VIPfail.aspx.
