Configuring Firebox SSL VPN Gateway Failover
The Firebox SSL VPN Gateway can be configured to fail over to multiple Firebox SSL VPN Gateway appli-
ances. Because Firebox SSL VPN Gateway failover is active/active, you can use each Firebox SSL VPN
Gateway as a primary gateway for a different set of users.
During the initial connection from the Secure Access Client, the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway provides the
failover list to the client. If the client loses the connection to the primary Firebox SSL VPN Gateway, it
iterates through the list of failover appliances. If the primary Firebox SSL VPN Gateway fails, the connec-
tion waits for 20 seconds and then goes to the failover list to make the connection. The client performs a
DNS lookup for the first failover appliance and tries to connect. If the first failover Firebox SSL VPN Gate-
way is not available, the client tries the next failover appliance. When the client successfully connects to
a failover Firebox SSL VPN Gateway, the client is prompted to log on.
To specify Firebox SSL VPN Gateway failover
1
Click the
VPN Gateway Cluster
tab and then click the
Failover Servers
tab.
2
In
Failover Server 1
,
Failover Server 2
, and/or
Failover Server 3
, type the external IP address or
the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway(s) to be used for failover
operation.
The Firebox SSL VPN Gateways are used for failover in the order listed.
3
In
Port
, type the port number. The default is 443.

Configuring Internal Failover
Configuring the client’s local DNS settings
enables the Secure Access Client to connect to the Firebox
SSL VPN Gateway from inside the firewall. When internal failover is configured, the client will failover to
the internal IP address of the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway if the external IP address cannot be reached.
To enable internal failover
1
Click the
Global Cluster Policies
tab.
2
Under
Advanced Options
, select
Enable Internal Failover
.
When this check box is selected, the internal IP address of the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway is added to the
failover list. If you disabled external administrator access, port 9001 is unavailable. If you want to con-
