Hi Samuel,

this is fine. This has to do with the "passive link state" option in your HA configuration. It is probably set to shut down which is normal.

Take a look at the admin guide in reference to "passive link state":

Passive Link State

Choose from the following options:

•	auto—Causes the link status to reflect physical connectivity, but discards all packets received. This option is supported in Layer 3 mode. The auto option is desirable, if it is feasible for your network.

•	shutdown—Forces the interface link to the down state. This is the default option, which ensures that loops are not created in the network.
