Perform the following task to define failover
conditions and thus establish what will cause a firewall in an HA
pair to fail over, an event where the task of securing traffic passes
from the previously active firewall to its HA peer. The
HA
Overview describes conditions that cause a failover.
If you are using SNMPv3 to monitor the firewalls, note that the SNMPv3 Engine ID is synchronized
between the HA pair. For information on setting up SNMP, see
Forward Traps to
an SNMP Manager. Because the EngineID is generated using the firewall
serial number, on the VM-Series firewall you must apply a valid license in order
to obtain a unique EngineID for each firewall.
