Sophos XG310 the master is not taking over after reboot

Hello,

 

I have two Sophos XG active/passive , both are working fine and I can rech always the Auxiliary using the management IP. After I reboot the master , the Auxiliary is taking over successfully. My question is what is default behaviour? shouldnt the Master taking over again or the Auxiliary will remain working as Master ? is there prefered or preempt master option to keep one of the Firewalls always the master ?

 

Thanks.

  • As far as i know, this is the wanted behavior in HA. 

    Is there a reason for keeping "node 1 always master"? 

    I know some administrator, which "bump" the Master / Slave on the hardware to keep track, but i am not quite sure, how this will help in any case.

    You can easily track the appliance via LCD keys, who is master and who is slave.
