Chapter 10 Device HA
Synchronization
Use synchronization to have a backup device copy the master device's configuration, and
certificates.
Note: Only devices of the same model and firmware version can synchronize.
Otherwise you must manually configure the master device's settings on the backup (by editing
copies of the configuration files in a text editor for example).
10.1.3 Before You Begin
• Configure a static IP address for each interface that you will have device HA monitor.
Note: Subscribe to services on the backup device before synchronizing it with the master
device.
10.2 Device HA General

DESCRIPTION
Turn the device's device HA feature on or off.
Note: It is not recommended to use STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) with device HA.
This displays active-passive mode by default. Legacy mode device HA is not
supported by the device.
The master and its backups must all use the same device HA mode.
This table shows the status of the interfaces that you selected for monitoring in
the other device HA screens.
This is the entry's index number in the list.
These are the names of the interfaces that are monitored by device HA.
