Hi @VishnuPS  thank for the post.

Based on the logs you provided, the peer pings are timing out. Could you please confirm how HA-1 Backup is connected? Is it dedicated back to back HA port, management port? Could you check whether you are seeing on this interface lower layer problems for example interface errors, duplex? Could you check from the output of following command any interface errors:  show interface <interface name> ?

Kind Regards

Pavel
