Checking High
Availability Status
If a failure of the primary Firewall occurs, the backup Firewall will assume
the primary Firewall’s LAN and WAN IP Addresses. It is therefore not
possible to determine which Firewall is active by logging into the LAN IP
Address alone.
There are three ways you can check the status of the High Availability
pair:
■
Check the High Availability Status Window
■
Watch for E-mail Alerts.
■
View the Log.
These methods are described below.
High Availability
Status Window
One method to determine which Firewall is active is to check the High
Availability status page for the High Availability pair. To view the High
Availability status window, it is necessary to log into the primary Firewall’s
LANIPAddress.ClicktheHigh Availability button on the left side of the
browser window and then click the Configuration tab at the top of the
window. If the primary Firewall is active, a window similar to the
following will be displayed.
