Configuring HA to Active/Standby with L3 HA link
The following steps configure HA to Active/Standby with the L3 HA link.
- Configure HA to Active/Standby with the L3 HA link. To do so, browse Manage > High Availability and select Enable Stateful Synchronization.
-
Navigate to the HA interfaces section and switch the HA Control link to L3 mode. A gateway address is unnecessary if two HA Interfaces are in the same subnet. However, if two HA interfaces are in different subnets, a proper gateway address is needed, and the default is X.X.X.1 on Azure.
-
Add monitoring IPs for X0 and X1 is mandatory.
-
Navigate to Device > High Availability > Status page to check whether the pair is coming together. The secondary will reboot, and seeing the device pair up may take a while.
It is recommended that you use the latest 7.1.1-7051 or a newer firmware version to use multiple floating IP addresses in Azure.
