5250 HA1 over SFP question

PerryK — Wed, 02 May 2018 21:49:37 GMT

I have a customer who is implementing a pair of 5250 in active/passive. The firewalls are in separate DCs that are connected with fibre. It seems HA2 over the SFP ports is OK but HA1 seems to only work over the 2 AUX ports not any of the data ports.

The docs say use these ports for SFP+ but it doesn't say NOT to use other SFP ports for HA1. Thoughts?

From the manual

@PerryK,

You can't actually configure the other SFP ports for HA1 on the 5200 series, that only works for HA2.

That's what I figured and the client is OK with using the AUX ports that way. It's just that the documentation isn't definitive.
