[Ayoub_Boudegga]

Hello,

i have a bond on 12600 appliance with 255 vlan on it , the port channel on my cisco Switch is up , on Firewall side it's up and all vlan interfaces are up, but i have some issues on HA with this bond , it stays down ,

also after rebooting i have the message "ha module not started" ,i'm forced to start the process cphamcset manualy 

Expert@CKPT-FW:0]# cphaprob -a if

HA module not started.

Warning: Sync will not function since there aren't any sync(secured) interfaces

does anyone know if there is any limiation on vlan interface with bonding that can cause ClusterXL to go crazy 🙂  .

[Timothy_Hall]

I assume the two firewalls can see each other's traffic on VLANs 1601 &1855, if so is there also at least one other responding IP address on those two VLANs other than the cluster members?  If not the interface will be declared down by ClusterXL.

As far as the "there is no sync interface" message, this can be caused by a variety of ClusterXL issues, see this SK for increasingly intrusive ways to rectify it: sk39047: Output of 'cphaprob -a if' command shows 'Sync will not function since there aren't any syn...

@Ayoub_Boudegga 

sometimes I saw this error „Warning: Sync will not function since there aren't any sync(secured) interfaces“.

All problematic cases are solved with Step 1 from Output of 'cphaprob -a if' command shows 'Sync will not function since there aren't any sync(secured... mentioned by @Timothy_Hall
