Chapter 3 Configuring the Device

ESTABLISHING AN HA CONNECTION BETWEEN DEVICES

To assure continuous traffic flow in the event of system failure, you can cable and configure two NetScreen devices in a redundant cluster. The devices propagate all network, configuration and session information to each other. Should one device fail, the other takes over the traffic processing.

Note: For the NetScreen-204, the default HA interface is ethernet4. For the NetScreen-208, the default HA interface is ethernet8. (Each is bound to the HA security zone.)

The following diagram shows a typical HA setup for NetScreen-208 devices.
