Don't see HA1 and HA2 ports

boblin — Mon, 28 Dec 2020 23:49:55 GMT

I am following this article "How to Configure High Availability on PAN-OS" to configure HA on our new PA-850. I don't see HA1 and HA2 ports. Or where I can configure HA interface?

@boblin,

These won't be listed under the network interfaces tab. Go into the device tab under the high-availability to configure these interfaces.

Got it! Thank you.

In the document, it shows like that.

It looks like this.

hi @boblin

all firewalls have the option of setting dataplane interfaces to HA mode, you can click the interface name and then select the HA type from the dropdown

you can then select those interfaces from the Device > High Availability > Ha communication menu

some devices have built-in HA1 and/or HA2 ports (and even Aux-1, Aux-2 and HSCI ports), which will show up in the High Availability configuration, but not in the Network (dataplane) interfaces as they can't be used to pass regular traffic

I am learning the PA firewall. Can some one recommend me the more details or step by step how to link?

@boblin

I would totally recommend, that if you are looking about a whole getting started series. We do have a set of "Getting Started" guides that can help if you want to check out here:

There are also many good books out there.. ,
even one that @reaper wrote.. amazon.com/dp/1789956374
