If you want to disable the secondary gateway, you must failover to the primary.
Note - Only one member of a cluster can be down at a time. For the inactive member, the Force Member
Down button is now Disable Force Member Down.
To failover to the original primary member:
1. Click Disable Force Member Down.
A confirmation message shows.
2. Click Yes.
The original primary member is now the active member of the cluster.
To see detailed information about the cluster status:
Click Diagnostics.
To create a cluster:
1. Click Configure Cluster.
The New Cluster Wizard opens.
2. In Step 1: Gateway Priority, select one of the options:
n
Configure as primary member - If this appliance must be configured first.
n
Configure as secondary member - If a primary member is already configured and this
appliance connects to it.
3. Click Next.
4. For a primary member:
a. In Step 2: SIC Settings, enter a password and confirm it. This password is used for
establishing trust between the members.
Note - You cannot use these characters in a password or shared secret: { } [ ] ` ~ | ‘
" \ Maximum number of characters: 255
b. The default Sync interface is LAN2. If it is necessary to change it, click Advanced and select a
different Sync Interface. You can also change the predefined Sync IP Address and Sync IP
Subnet.
Note - Make sure that changes you make here are also made on the other cluster member.
c. Click Next.
d. In Step 3: Gateway Interfaces (1 out of N), you can define the cluster IP on the related
interfaces. Enter the necessary details.
By default, the appliance monitors the interface condition if the interface is enabled for high
availability. If there is a failure, it automatically fails over to the secondary cluster member.
When the interface is not enabled for high availability, you can select it for monitoring.
