Environment


  • 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


    1. 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.
    2. Configure different IP addresses on the WAN interfaces of both primary and secondary devices to resolve the issue. Refer to Branch HA Topologies.


    Additional Information


    Configure the main interface for HA-Connectivity
