Product description

HA Modes

The conversion license converts High Availability/Passive unit into an Active/Standalone unit. What is High Availability? High Availability allows two identical SonicWall security appliances running SonicOS Enhanced to be configured to provide a reliable, continuous connection to the public Internet.One SonicWall device is configured as the Primary unit, and an identical SonicWall device is configured as the Backup unit. In the event of the failure of the Primary SonicWall, the Backup SonicWall takes over to secure a reliable connection between the protected network and the Internet. Two appliances configured in this way are also known as a High Availability Pair (HA Pair). How Active/Standby High Availability Works High Availability requires one SonicWall device configured as the Primary SonicWall, and an identical SonicWall device configured as the Secondary, or Secondary, SonicWall. During normal operation, the Primary SonicWall is in an Active state and the Secondary SonicWall in an Idle, or Standby, state. If the Primary device loses connectivity, the Secondary SonicWall transitions to Active mode and assumes the configuration and role of Primary, including the interface IP addresses of the configured interfaces.

By default, Active/Standby mode is stateless, meaning that network connections and VPN tunnels must be re-established after a failover. To avoid this, Stateful Synchronization can be licensed and enabled with Active/Standby mode.

1. If doing Active/Passive, Stateful High Availability, or Active/Active DPI only a single set of licenses are required 2. If doing Active/Active Clustering two sets of licenses are required which includes two sets of services subscriptions, and two expanded licenses if required 3. If the client requires BGP and Stateful High Availability then you would want to sell them the Expanded license as it provides for BGP as well as Stateful HA.
