devices. This includes The workflow includes setting each device's local and remote HA interface addresses and installing the single HA license that applies to both devices.

Refer to High Availability for a description an overview of the High Availability option feature and a summary of the corresponding HA user interface changes supporting the option. Refer to Workflow for Initial Setup - High Availability for the complete installation and configuration instructions.

    Each device has a dedicated

    HA interface, High Availability.

    When you enable HA for a device, you assign a local IP address that serves as the device's base HA IP address. From that, the system automatically assigns three IP addresses to support the device's HA interface. 

    Info
    titleNote

    The base HA IP addresses of the two devices must be static IPv4 addresses on the same subnet and at least three addresses apart. Example: 10.10.10.41 and 10.10.10.44. 

    Here is an example of the IP address assignments for a pair of

    Media (packet)

    Each device has SWe Edge media (packet) interfaces, Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 3. 

    You will assign unique, static IP addresses to the media interfaces later, after you have enabled HA on the two devices. Refer to Workflow for Initial Setup - High Availability. (The SWe Edge settings replicate automatically to the Standby device in real-time when you configure the Active device.)
