5450 HSCI A and B

Why HSCI-A and HSCI-B are not numbered in the config (HA communication tab) like HA1-a and HA1-b ??? any clues????

Also what is dedicated-ha2 (Dedicated HA2 interface) vs hsci (High Speed Chassis Interconnect (HSCI) dedicated for HA2 and HA3 interfaces)

Thanks

Because you can only use the HSCI interface for one purpose, with the option of connecting 2 cables. it's considered a single interface

(e.g. you can't use hsciA for ha2 and hsciB for ha3, you use HSCI for HA2 or HA3)

Per PA Support HSCI-A and HSCI-B are hardware redundant on 5450. it is optional to add 2nd redundant HA2 using network interface.
