I have a pair of PA3220 firewalls in my environment. I configured Active/Passive for High Availability and I configured Link Monitoring condition to trigger the failover. However I'm still not clearly understand the behavior of PA HA.
I configured a Link Monitoring Group on both Firewall as below
- Name INSIDE
- Condition ANY
+ Interfaces E1/1
+ Interfaces E1/2
I tried to disconnect the E1/1 on PA01 and the failover triggerd(active on PA02). Then I disconnected the ports E1/1 and E1/2 on PA02. The active state still on the PA02 even the port E1/1 on PA01 UP. I'm not sure, does PA compare the link status between HA?HA

Hello,
Where are the e1 and e2 interfaces in your diagram. Also are all 4 of those devices firewalls? Just trying to get the bigger picture.

Have you combined both interfaces in the same group ( as the group will carry the same 'weight' if one interface is down or all of them)
in your scenario, I think you'll need to create 2 groups: each with 1 interface

Hi,
Can you elaborate the scenario again as it seems very confusing. Ideally this should not happen . Please re-check configuration and priority on PA02 link interface , priority difference could be the reason for this.
You can also check HA logs to get the exact reason for this behavior of PA-HA.
