Initial High Availability Setup
Before you begin the configuration of HA on the Primary
SuperMassive 9800 security appliance:
• Determine which interfaces should be used as the HA
Control Interface and the HA Data Interface:
TIP: Remember, they must be the same ports on each
appliance.
• HA Control Interface—Can be a 1 Gbps interface
only.
NOTE: Link Aggregation and Port Redundancy are not
supported for the HA Control Interface.
• HA Data Interface—Can be a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps
interface. 10 Gbps is recommended.
• Make a note of the serial number of the appliance that
will run as the Secondary device. You can find this on
the bottom of the appliance or in the System > Status
page. 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 and running the same
SonicOS versions.
• Ensure the Primary and Secondary security appliances'
LAN, WAN, and other interfaces are properly connected
for failover.
• Connect the HA Control and Data Links on the Primary
and Secondary appliances with appropriate cables.
• Turn on the Primary SonicWall security appliance first.
Then, turn on the Secondary SonicWall security
appliance.
Configuring High Availability Settings
The first task in setting up HA after completing Initial setup on
page 19 is configuring the High Availability > Settings page on
the Primary SonicWall security appliance. After you configure
HA on the Primary appliance, it communicates the settings to
the Secondary appliance.
IMPORTANT: The SonicWall appliances must be
registered and licensed before completing the
configuration procedures.
To configure HA on the Primary SonicWall:
1 Log in to your Primary appliance.
2 Navigate to the High Availability > Settings page.
