I guess I'm still a little confused on how to wire this up to an HA pair.   I have a VLAN for my subnet my WAN router is on.  Lets say vlan 10 and my WAN router IP is 192.168.10.254 and my data center switch virtual VLAN ip address is 192.168.10.253.  Cabling is no problem since it is going straight to one PAN virtual port, and then through the PAN to the router's LAN port. router LAN <--------------> PAN#1 virtual wire p1  ---- PAN#1 Virtual wire p2  <------------------> data center switch But how do I wire in the second PAN to this? thanks ...

I should be more specific on my WAN Virtual Wire setup.   The Ethernet port from my Cisco WAN router is going in to one of the Virtual Wire ports on the PAN, and the second Virtual Wire port on the PAN is going to my Cisco core switch in the data center.    My rules just pass through the data, but I scan for virus/threat/apps to keep my WAN traffic "clean".    The core switch in the data center is L3 and routes all WAN traffic to the Cisco WAN router.   In the Virtual Wire mode, this is just passing through and the router and switch see no difference with the PAN "in the middle"    The Cisco core switch port that connects is a VLAN or L2 switchport. How do you configure this in an HA pair? Thanks ... View more

Can you be more specific?  I too am holding off on setting up an HA pair because of this.   I would like to see some details on how to do this with Virtual Wire links along with having some "traditional" L3 ports in the configuration. Example:  I have my traditional External/Internal/DMZ L3 ports setup on the PAN, but I also have two ports setup as a Virtual Wire that I send all my WAN traffic through for inbound/outbound scanning of my WAN traffic to remote offices.  How will this fail over?
