Thanks would that be straight through eth cable? I do not have eyes on these they are in a remote datacenter. Is their a guide to use HA1 and HA2? I don't see them listed under the network tab.

Both straight through and cross over will work, make sure they are no longer than 100 meter.

Else there will be delay in HA updates which can cuase in consistant HA.

It is recommended to connect back to back between 2 firewalls.

Thanks

How are they configured on the PALO? I don't see them listed as network interface.

It's dedicated interface for HA, you will not be able to see it under Network > interfaces.

You have to configure it under Device > High-availability >set-up.

Thanks
