You can choose to connect X0 of the primary and secondary directly to the ports on the X-series switch. In this
case, two switch ports are used on the X-series for management traffic.

•
X0 of the primary unit is connected to port 1.
•
X0 of the secondary unit is connected to port 7
When the switch is provisioned, the primary switch management is set to 1 and the secondary switch
management is set to 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.
