Scenario B: State Sync Pair in NAT/Route
Mode
For network installations with two Dell SonicWALL NSA E-Class
appliances configured as a stateful synchronized pair for
redundant high-availability networking.
In this scenario, one Dell SonicWALL NSA E8510 operates as
the primary gateway device and the other Dell SonicWALL NSA
E8510 is in passive mode. All network connection information is
synchronized between the two devices so that the backup
appliance can seamlessly switch to active mode without
dropping connections if the primary device loses connectivity.
Note: Active/Active Deep Packet Inspection (A/A DPI)
functionality is also available for high-availability
deployments. For more information on the benefits and
setup instruction for Active/Active DPI, see the
"SonicOS Active/Active Feature Module" at:
