Configuring High Availability Configuring High Availability You can create a High Availability (HA) cluster consisting of two or more NetDefend firewalls. For example, you can install two NetDefend firewalls on your network, one acting as the "Master", the default gateway through which all network traffic is routed, and one acting as the "Backup". If the Master fails, the Backup automatically and transparently takes over all the roles of the Master. This ensures that your network is consistently protected by a NetDefend firewall and connected to the Internet. The gateways in a HA cluster each have a separate IP address within the local network. In addition, the gateways share a single virtual IP address, which is the default gateway address for the local network. Control of the virtual IP address is passed as follows: 1. Each gateway is assigned a priority, which determines the gateway's role: the gateway with the highest priority is the Active Gateway and uses the virtual IP address, and the rest of the gateways are Passive Gateways. 2. The Active Gateway sends periodic signals, or "heartbeats", to the network via a synchronization interface. The synchronization interface can be any internal network existing on both gateways except the WLAN. 3. If the heartbeat from the Active Gateway stops (indicating that the Active gateway has failed), the gateway with the highest priority becomes the new Active Gateway and takes over the virtual IP address. 4. When a gateway that was offline comes back online, or a gateway's priority changes, the gateway sends a heartbeat notifying the other gateways in the cluster. If the gateway's priority is now the highest, it becomes the Active Gateway. The NetDefend firewall supports Internet connection tracking, which means that each firewall tracks its Internet connection's status and reduces its own priority by a Chapter 5: Managing Your Network 119
