The Standby device then will get all configuration details from the Active. You can not change SMB role from Standby to Active. As failover should work without side effects this is usually not an issue although it is a limitation compared to GAiA.</P> Tue, 16 Nov 2021 08:43:10 GMT G_W_Albrecht 2021-11-16T08:43:10Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Maintain-Current-Active-Gateway-1500-series/m-p/134119#M20055 <P>Hi ,</P><P>When i deploy checkpoint HA cluster Mid range series , I can configure to Maintain Current Active Gateway function.</P><P>But now i deploy 1500 ,i cannot maintain current active gateway.
