Advanced Settings

DEVICE | High Availability > Advanced provides the ability to fine-tune the High Availability configuration as well as synchronize setting and firmware among the High Availability Security Appliances. High Availability > Advanced is same for Active/Standby configuration.

The Heartbeat Interval and Failover Trigger Level (missed heartbeats) settings apply to both the SVRRP heartbeats and HA heartbeats. Other settings on High Availability > Advanced apply only to the HA pairs within the Cluster Nodes.

For more information on High Availability, see About High Availability and Active/Standby Prerequisites.
