Ha and Sync interfaces

samdin — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 22:35:09 GMT

Hello,

I'm a beginner:

Where is VRRP configured between cluster interfaces? I can't find the configuration on the Smart console?

Also, what is the purpose of the synchronization interface and the HA interface?

Pourrait il y avoir des conséquences si on supprime l'interface Sync et l'interface HA?

Could there be any consequences if we remove the Sync interface and the HA interface?

Thanks

Use ClusterXL and not VRRP.

Sync interface allow the cluster members to ensure they both have information of active connections so that the standby can take over seamlessly if it has to.

You can't not have a Sync interface in a cluster.

I suggest you have a look through some of the learning we have on the site: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Check-Point-for-Beginners/bg-p/check-point-for-beginners-2-0
