Before you begin the configuration of HA on the Primary
Dell SonicWALL security appliance, perform the following tasks:
• Determine which interfaces should be used as the HA Control
Link and the HA Data Link. Remember, they must be the
same ports on each appliance.
• On the bottom panel of the appliance that will run as the
Secondary device, locate the serial number and write the
number down. You need to enter this number in the High
Availability > Settings > HA Devices page.
• Verify that the Primary and Secondary appliances are
registered on MySonicWALL, running the same SonicOS
versions.
