You may also want to make sure that the port is
in STP 'portfast' mode or whatever your vendor calls
it (basically, once there is a link, go right to the
STP forwarding state, bypassing the Listen state to
see if there are any loops).
That was it. I just had to find out how Dell calls that thing - turned
out they refer to it as 'edge port'. However, switching the ports the
firewalls are conntected to in an edge port fixed it. Takeover now takes
place in literally no time.
Thanks a lot for your help!
