Question
- Is the following system log entry normal for a passive firewall of an HA pair?
2025/01/01 00:00:01 info url-fil ha-sync 0 No synching file to peer because local state is not Active (Passive).
Environment
- Passive firewall in a Active/Passive pair
Answer
- Yes this message is expected.
- On successful backup of the PAN-DB the behavior is to sync the DB with the HA peer.
- On the active peer this sync happens, but on the passive the sync doesn't occur since the firewall will not sync from passive to active.
