Hello and welcome to this lecture.
So now with the infrastructure up and running we are ready to configure the H.A. or high availability
cluster.
So let's see how we do that.
It's actually very simple.
When when you know how to do it.
So first go to system then navigate to H.A. and if you go through for any documentation you will see
that there are some strict requirements that need to be to be followed.
So first of all instead of standalone I will select active passive and then I should have this priority
let's say bigger than the other one.
So I will say 250 and the other one I don't know 100 or something like that.
Now in terms of requirements I should define a group name.
So I will name it H.A. and define also a password and I will click this I in order to be visible.
So let's say footnote and also hard with interfaces.
Remember we have configured ingenious three to have port three and four.
So I'm now clicking on the plus sign selecting.
Also port three and also very important.
We have to have the same heartbeat interface priority and not basically not all values are good.
So I'm clicking this and putting exactly 50 for both of them at this moment.
I will click OK.
And wait for the firewall to initiate and appear in the AK.
So now basically it's transforming self from standalone from the standalone mode going to active passive
waiting for cluster data.
Now it says connection to the 40 gate was lost temporarily.
You may need to refresh the current page so I'll click refresh
and here it is our first footnote firewall the 40 gate VM 64 in this case with a priority of 250.
This is the hostname very important serial number.
The role is master uptime and a number of sessions and throughput.
So at this point we should move to the second one and configure to be the same in the same HP cluster.
So if I ping now one end to that 16 saved up 100 up to five 3 it will respond.
So this is the second gate.
But immediately immediately after I configure it to be part of the same age closer remember we have
talked about it in a previous lecture.
It will not respond to this IP so configuration will get synchronized.
And as soon as it's needed it will take over the master role in order to forward traffic from the land
to the Internet and back and I will now log in.
So admin
so here is the interface.
We will now navigate to system then go to H.A.
And now let's do the same for this second frigate firewall.
So instead of standalone we will change it to active passive
and let's say well the device proceeds more than the other one so it's fine.
Let's say for the group named the same H.A..
Change the password to be the same again.
I have used the eye to see that I am typing correctly so fortunate.
Add another heartbeat interface here.
So port three now said the priority of port three to be the same like 50
so using the keyboard.
Now to be exactly on 50 and now I will click OK.
It should now not respond once it once it joins the cluster we should now not respond.
When I tried to ping it
so request time out.
Let's go now to the first frigate faro
and now let's do a refresh.
Here it is.
So now we have a master.
This is the master role and we have also a slave priority 250 the configured priority.
And the other one it's one hundred and twenty eight.
So you're certain you are about to time out only extend the session.
So again.
So we have the green tech two hundred and fifty.
This is the priority.
The other default 1 128 48 1 the hostname and you.
And this host names are very important as in the next lecture we will do the failover.
So I will power off the first 48 in order for the for the traffic to go through 48 2.
And again this these host names will be handy because we will see here when connecting to this IP address.
So 2 5 4 that it will say for gate 2 meaning that the second 48 will take over the mass roll and forward
traffic to the Internet and back off the line users.
So thank you for your time and see you in the next lecture.
