Secondary Firewall Tap Interface Showing down

shriramtrimal — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 12:24:53 GMT

Hi All,

Can anyone help me to understand the behavior of tap interfaces. Currently they are showing down on passive firewalls whereas on active firewalls they are showing up.

Searched for KB article but not getting enough information, can you please help on the same.

Thanks

Hello @shriramtrimal - this is expected behaviour. When in tap mode, the interfaces on any standby NGFWs will appear as down.

Hi,

Is this behavior expected on normal ethernet interfaces as well?
