When configuring an active/active pair of 5060s in vwire mode, is there a need to configure link monitoring? the 5060s are setting behind an HA pair of Cisco 5585s and want to ensure the Palos failing over will not affect the traffic from the ASAs.
I have an HA 3 interface conifgured but since both firewalls will process traffic, is there a need to failover of a link goes down?

Hi...Yes, typically we want to do link monitoring to detect a link failure and re-route the traffic around the failure point. For vwire, we must maintain the forward path. So any packets forwarded across HA3 must return to the receiving PA to forward the packets out the egress port of the vwire.
