HA Timers

High availability (HA) timers are used to detect a firewall failure and trigger a failover. To reduce the complexity in configuring HA timers, you can select from three profiles:
Recommended
,
Aggressive
, and
Advanced
. These profiles auto-populate the optimum HA timer values for the specific firewall platform to enable a speedier HA deployment.
Use the
Recommended
profile for typical failover timer settings and the
Aggressive
profile for faster failover timer settings. The
Advanced
profile allows you to customize the timer values to suit your network requirements.
