PA-5220 HA Configuration

[ausafali88]

Please can someone shed some light on the following issues which we are facing for PA-5220 HA Configuration:

1. We can see port lights on HSCI port but not on HA-1/HA-2 ports even when they are connected,. Should they be enabled somewhere because in GUI i can just see in-band ports till port 24.
2. How can we setup HA using dedicated ports, because in Device>high Avalibility i can see the bacup peer IP address and where can i setup IP addresses of HA-1/HA-2 ports?

Waiting eagerly for replies.

1. the GUI does not list the dedicated HA ports, you can view their status through cli:

admin@PA-5220> show interface all

total configured hardware interfaces: 8

2. This picture may explain it best

::correction:: the HA2 interface can only be set to one or both HSCI, or a single dataplane interface. not an aggregate
