Re: [FW-1] High Availability with different MAC's



Just an idea: make sure you have disabled spanning tree on the switch ports where the FW's are plugged in. If HA is using gratuitous arp, that will mess it up.

MessageEither way having the same MAC address on 2 seperate NICS plugged within the same network will hose it.

  That's not entirely true.  Some companies, SUN for one, have a MAC unique to the machine, not the card.  You can override this with a firmware command (if needed I'll dredge it up).

    How come you have the same MAC address? It's usually unique to the card, and there are no two NICs in the world that have the same MAC. Correct me if I'm wrong. Are you talking about network cards?

      Subject: [FW-1] High Availability with diferent MAC's


      Hi all.

      Is posible to configure HA with diferent MAC's?

      We re using HA with the same MAC and IP address, but we're having problems with our switches, some of our established sessions cut or have delays to connect.

      thanks in advanced.
