Modifying HA local parameters<br />

Managing an HA cluster<br />

To configure local HA parameters, connect to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

using the Admin Console and select Firewall <strong>Administration</strong> -> High<br />

Availability. (If you have already configured HA, the High Availability<br />

option will appear directly beneath the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> icon.) Select<br />

the Local Parameters tab. The following window appears:<br />

The Local Parameters tab specifies the parameters that are unique to a<br />

particular <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> in your HA configuration. Follow the steps<br />

below.<br />

1. In the Cluster Mode area, select one <strong>of</strong> the following options:<br />

Designate as part <strong>of</strong> a Load Sharing High Availability Cluster—<br />

Select this option if you want to configure load sharing HA (both<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s actively process traffic).<br />

Designate as part <strong>of</strong> a Primary/Standby High Availability Cluster—<br />

Select this option if you want to configure failover HA (only one<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> processes traffic, with the other <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

acting as a hot backup).<br />

Note: To configure load sharing HA or peer-to-peer failover HA, the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>s must have the same hardware configuration. For more<br />

information on each HA configuration option, see “HA configuration options”<br />
