PA-445 HA Pair

L4 Transporter

Hi Team,

 

I dont see dedicated HA ports in PA 445 in the Datasheet nor in the front panel links.Does it mean any of the interface can be used for HA by just configuring the IP? Or is there anything specific we need to do here? Can we plug in direct cables between the firewalls using the existing ports?

Answers are much appriciated.

 

Regards,

Sanjay S

Hi @Sanjay_Ramaiah ,

 

Yes, any interface can be used for HA.  All you have to do is set the Interface Type to HA.  You do not need to put an IP address on it.  IP addresses are assigned to HA ports under Device > High Availability.  For HA2 interfaces, you can choose Ethernet transport and not assign IP addresses if the NGFWs are directly connected to each other.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom
