Configuring HA Using Two Switch Management
Ports
You can connect X0 of the primary and secondary firewalls directly to the ports on the Switch. In this case, two
Switch ports are used on the Switch for management traffic.
HA Pair Using 2 Switch Management Ports Topology
shows a firewall HA pair with a Switch and two dedicated
links:
•
X0 of the primary unit is connected to port 1.
•
X0 of the secondary unit is connected to port 7
When the primary firewall is active, the link between X0 of the primary and port 1 of the Switch carry the
management traffic. When the secondary firewall is active, the link between X0 of the secondary and port 7 of
the Switch is used by the firewall to manage the Switch.
