error establishing trust

[Askey_oot]

Hi All, 

I'm trying to connect two Checkpoint Spark devices locally manage into one cluster HA, both hardware platform running the same firmware version, license, with GAiA Embedded 81.10.17. I'm getting an "error establishing trust" message on secondary device. Both devices are connected directly to each other with a short patchcord cable LAN2<>LAN2

Example error when click Establish trust:

Are your firewall settings on both members set to strict? If so, you will need an incoming policy rule to allow ccp packets (UDP/8116) to communicate with each other.

First device call as primary have an strict mode firewall with  two manual create policy incoming/outgoing beetwen sync IP address and service ALL with action accept . Second device working firewall blade with standard mode but i create the same firewall 2 manual policy as primary . Same issue without changes

fw ctl zdebug + drop, that show massive logs on secondary device :

handle_packet_do: invalid interface -1, conn <0.0.0.0,8116,172.29.149.0,8116,17>, type/state Network/Network, vsid 0, pkt_offset 14, protocol 0x0800;

Run fw stat, make sure its not showing initial policy or default filter, if so, just run fw unloadlocal.

Dont reboot, just run fw stat and IF it shows initial or defaultfilter policy, then run fw unloadlocal and try again.
