Hello,

Possible yes since your HA interfaces can be any of the interfaces on the PAN. My biggest question would be why? Have the secondary data center PAN standalone and active. You can control routing via OSPF and route metrics.

Just my thoughts, I'm sure you have specific requirements.

the datacenter passive, it's work only for disaster recovery.

Hello,

I've done similar configs, and my DR data center was active. just disable the inbound NAT's. However you should be able to set it up the way you described.

Just a thought.

OK so every FW in the cluster in Active/Passive I have to configure HA1, HA1-Backup, HA2, HA2-Backup and H4, HA4-Backup and all interconnected? Are there any guides?
