Initial High Availability Setup

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
Interface and the HA Data Interface.
• HA Control Interface—Can be a 1 Gbps interface only.
Note that 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.
• 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.
