Configuring FT on ACE Modules

Question

Hi,
I am trying to configure FT on ACE modules, with the following commands
ft interface vlan 20
  ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.252
  peer ip address 172.16.20.2 255.255.255.252
  no shutdown
ft peer 1
  heartbeat interval 300
  heartbeat count 10
  ft-interface vlan 20
ft group 1
  peer 1
  priority 150
  associate-context Admin
  inservice
The moment I enter the command 'ft interface vlan 20', it gives a prompt that 'interface vlan20 is not associated with ft', how do I resolve this ? Do I need to enable something ?

Hi have the following config which seems to be working fine for me...  check your vlan20 interface is up
ft interface vlan 212
  ip address 172.31.1.221 255.255.255.252
  peer ip address 172.31.1.222 255.255.255.252
  no shutdown
ft peer 1
  heartbeat interval 300
  heartbeat count 20
  ft-interface vlan 212
ft group 2
  peer 1
  priority 50
  peer priority 150
  associate-context Admin
  inservice
