Palo PA-415 on High-availability but Wireless access points only have 1 network port.

So I have a very small site and PA-415 seems like a idea firewall to that, but we have a company policy which we have to have a HA on a firewall. 

I'm trying to not to use a switch given that PA-415 have a 8 poe ports. issues APs we use only have 1 ethernet port. Is there a way to do HA on this scenario. I'm trying to get an AP with 2 network ports that will be the easier solution. any thing I can do with Palo to make it work ?

@din100,

You're either going to need an access point with two ports or a switch to front those connections. Short of having an active/passive AP(s) there's not really another way to handle this. I would highly advise to just use a switch to front-end these since that makes everything cleaner anyways.

Thank you, that is what I thought unless a way making the 2nd one as a standby box of some sort.  I'm looking for a AP with 2 ports or like you said put a switch in
