- Prisma SD-WAN
- ION devices
- High Availability (HA)
Cause
In a HA configuration, WAN ports had same IP addresses on both the primary and secondary devices.
Resolution
- In a HA configuration, the ION devices function in an active/backup mode, but the WAN interfaces will consistently remain active, necessitating their own unique IP addressing.
- Configure different IP addresses on the WAN interfaces of both primary and secondary devices to resolve the issue. Refer to Branch HA Topologies.
