Hi all.
Sorry if this is a rookie question - I am coming from the software appliance realm and am new to the actual hardware appliances. We just bought two SG550s to replace old Dell 2950s we were running in Hot standby (active/passive). I have the master 550 all up and running with my backup config imported and running - all is well. I thought all i had to do was turn HA to "automatic" and being up the second one with NICs connected (after I updated the 2nd to the same version as the first and did a "factory reset" on it)
The documentation explains that if you have units with a FIXED eth3 to use that port. well the 550s have modular ethernet ports and I am using eth3 for external WAN. I want to use eth9 as my sync port and I can set it on the master. Do I need to do a minimal setup on the second (slave) and choose the eth9 for sync and put that machine in automatic too? Or do I have to set it up and just do a manual setup of HA?
