Hi everyone!
I am having some confusion on HA Link Monitoring and Failover. I did exactly the same thing with video courses and Palo alto document guide but it still doesn't work
For context, i am monitoring my eth1/2 and eth1/3 for failover. So i shut down the G0/0 interfaces of the routers directly connected to them and still there's no failover. I even configured the ethernet interface in Palo Alto to "down" state but no good. Am I missing something here?
Thank you in advance!

I need two more information to answer your question.
#1
Does the status of eth1/2 and 1/3 change to linkdown after you shutdown G0/0?
In another words, GREEN should be changed to RED as below.
#2
What is the device status of peer device?
Fail-over occurs only when peer device is ready for fail-over which means peer device have to be "passive" if you are configuring active-passive.
If it is other status such as non-functional, suspended, etc., it does not fail over.

Hi!
#1
When I shut down the G0/0, my Palo Eth interfaces still shows green.
#2
The status shows active-passive
HQ-FW as active and HQ-FW-2 as passive

From reply for #1, that's the reason.
Link Monitoring keeps looking for link status of specified ports. To trigger it, you need to link-down that ports.
Try to unplug LAN cable on both ports, I believe it works. (icon will change to RED and fail-over should be occurred)
