Does Device HA-Pro require a dedicated port

imaohw

The manual says that the last port/interface on the USG is used for the Device HA-Pro heartbeat.  Does that port need to be dedicated to the heartbeat function or can other vlans also be assigned to that port?

if it needs to be dedicated, do the two USGs needed to be directly connected to each other with a cable or can the traffic go thru a switch?

Hi @imaohw

If Device-HA Pro is not enabled, the latest port is able configure like others interfaces.

But if Device-HA Pro is enabled, then latest port is a dedicated port.

So this port can’t configure additional setting or bind any VLAN.

 

In the usual both of USG are connecting heartbeat port each other after enabled Device-HA Pro.

But if your switch is configured without problem, Device-HA Pro function is able to work.
