3200 and 5200 Series New Interface Types

BatD — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 10:31:34 GMT

Can you please help us with the new 3200 and 5200 interface types, because it is not very clear in the hardware documentation?

The firewalls now have HA1 and HA1-Backup dedicated ports. The 5200 also have AUX-1 and AUX-2. Can we still use any other data or management port for HA1 or HA1 Backup?
The HSCI interface can be used for high speed HA2 direct connection. Can we use any Data Plane Interface for HA2?
Is there a requirement for Log Forwarding to Panorama or external server to be over dedicated interface? Can it still be done over the built in Management link?
Is there any other interface limitation for the 3200 and 5200 series?

You can still use the management port, you can't use a dataplane port for HA1
If you set one or more datplane interfaces to type "HA", you can assign these to HA2
The default for log forwarding is out of the management interface (except for tha PA-7000 series)
What do you mean by limitations? The hsci cannot be used for regular traffic, for example
