Setting up HA
Preconditions for creating an HA cluster
When
setting
up
an
SEG
HA
cluster,
the
following
is
required:
1. Two
security
gateways
with
identical
hardware
configurations
running
the
same
version
of
the
SEG.
For
module
‐
based
platforms,
these
should
be
two
separate
modules
in
the
same
or
different
shelf.
One
should
be
designated
the
master
node,
the
other
designated
the
slave
node.
2. The
interfaces
of
both
cluster
nodes
are
connected
via
a
common
switch
as
shown
in
the
illustration
below.
The
interface
names
on
both
security
gateways
must
be
identical.
The
sync
interfaces
do
not
need
to
be
connected
via
a
switch
since
shelf
‐
based
platforms
often
provide
backplane
connection.
