When firewalls are configured in a cluster operating in default mode, IP-Tag, User-Tag, and IP-Port mappings registered on the leader node do not synchronize to the follower node. On the follower node, commands such as show object registered-ip all and show object registered-user all display no registered entries for these data types, even though they are present on the leader. This prevents Dynamic Address Group (DAG) and Dynamic User Group (DUG) based security policies, which rely on these mappings, from functioning correctly on the follower node. As a result, traffic routed through the follower node does not match these policies, leading to an inconsistent security posture across the cluster.
Workaround: Configure the firewall cluster to operate in ICD mode. This enables the correct synchronization of IP-Tag, User-Tag, and IP-Port mappings between the leader and follower nodes.
