Do Interface Link Duplex, and Speed Sync Over to the Passive Device on Commit?
Resolution
With a pair of Palo Alto Networks devices in HA configuration, Link Duplex, and Link Speed on an interface do not synchronize from the Active to Passive device on a commit operation.
Details
The screenshot below shows the current state of ethernet1/5 interface on the Active device:
The current state of ethernet1/5 on the Passive device is shown below:
On the Active device, the following changes are performed on ethernet1/5:
- Link Speed changed to 100,
- Link Duplex changed to full
- Link State changed to up
The changes are committed and verified on the Active device:
Configuration differences between Active and Passive devices can be seen on the Config Audit (at Device > Config Audit) page of the Active device. A comparison between the Running config and the Peer Running config shows that the Link Duplex and Link Speed on an interface do not sync to the passive device on a commit (see screenshot below).
