I have two firewalls in an HA configuration.
I need to be able to have one "virtual" ip address for the management interface of the active firewall.
For instance:
Firewall1 IP is 192.168.1.10
Firewall2 IP is 192.168.1.11
Virtual Address 192.168.1.9 points to 10 or 11, whichever one is active.
Has anyone else accomplished this and how did you do it?

Hi @brad.morris ,
You want two separate management IP addresses for each NGFW so that you can manage them separately. Some configuration items are not synced.
With that said, you could enable management on the inside data interface with an Interface Management Profile. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-web-interface-help/network/network-network-prof...
The IP address of the inside interface will always be on the active NGFW.
Thanks,
Tom
