Example: Configure Multinode High Availability in a Hybrid Deployment
Read this topic to learn how to configure Multinode High Availability solution on SRX Series Firewalls. The example covers configuration in active/backup mode when SRX Series Firewalls are connected to a router on one side and switch on the other side.
Overview
In a hybrid deployments, participating SRX Series Firewalls operate as independent nodes in a mixed mode of routed networks on one side and locally connected networks on the other side. An encrypted logical interchassis link (ICL) connects the nodes over a routed network.
In Multinode High Availability, activeness is determined at the services redundancy group (SRG) level. The SRX Series Firewall, on which the SRG1 is active, hosts the floating IP address and steers traffic towards it using the floating IP address. During a failover, the floating IP address moves from the old active node to the new active node and continues the communication client devices.
As of Junos OS Release 22.3R1, we support a two-node configuration in the Multinode High Availability solution.
In this example, you'll establish high availability between the SRX Series Firewalls and secure the tunnel traffic by enabling HA link encryption.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
- Two SRX Series Firewalls or vSRX Virtual Firewall Instances
- A Juniper Networks(R) MX960 Universal Routing Platform at one end
- A Juniper Networks(R) EX9214 Ethernet Switch at the other end
- Junos OS Release 22.3R1
Topology
Figure 1 shows the topology used in this example.
As shown in the topology, two SRX Series Firewalls connected to routers on untrust side and to a switch trust side of the network. The nodes communicate with each other using a routable IP address (floating IP address) over the network. Loopback interfaces are used to host the IP addresses on SRX Series and upstream router.
In general, you can use Aggregated Ethernet (AE) or a revenue Ethernet port on the SRX Series Firewalls to setup an ICL connection. In this example, we've used GE ports for the ICL. We've also configured a routing instance for the ICL path to ensure maximum segmentation.
In a typical high availability deployment, you have multiple routers and switches on the northbound and southbound sides of the network. For this example, we are using one routers and one switch.You'll perform the following tasks to build a Multinode High Availability setup:
- Configure a pair of SRX Series Firewalls as local and peer nodes by assigning IDs.
- Configure services redundancy groups (SRGs).
- Configure a loopback interface (lo0.0) to host a floating IP address on the Layer 3 side.
- Configure virtual IP addresses for activeness determination and enforcement on the Layer 2 side.
- Configure a signal route required for activeness enforcement and use it along with the route exists policy.
- Configure a VPN profile for the high availability (ICL) traffic using IKEv2.
- Configure BFD monitoring options.
- Configure a routing policy and routing options.
- Configure appropriate security policies to manage traffic in your network.
-
Configure stateless firewall filtering and quality of service (QoS) as per your network requirements.
-
Configure interfaces and zones according to your network requirement. You must allow services such as IKE for link encryption and SSH for configuration synchronization as host-inbound system services on the security zone that is associated with the ICL.
In this example, you use static routes on SRX-1 and SRX-2 and advertise these routes into BGP to add the metric to determine which SRX Series Firewall is in the preferred path. Alternatively you can use route reflectors on the SRX Series Firewalls to advertise the routes learned via BGP and accordingly configure the routing policy to match on BGP.
You can configure the following options on SRG0 and SRG1:
-
SRG1: Active/backup signal route, deployment type, activeness priority, preemption, virtual IP address (for default gateway deployments), activeness probing and process packet on backup.
-
SRG1: BFD monitoring, IP monitoring, and interface monitoring options on SRG1.
-
SRG0: shutdown on failure and install on failure route options.
When you configure monitoring (BFD or IP or Interface) options under SRG1, we recommend not to configure the shutdown-on-failure option under SRG0.
For interchassis link (ICL), we recommend the following configuration settings:
- Use a loopback (lo0) interface using an aggregated Ethernet interface (ae0), or any revenue Ethernet interface to establish the ICL. Do not to use the dedicated HA ports (control and fabric ports) if available on your SRX Series Firewall).
- Set MTU of 1514
- Allow the following services on the security zone associated with interfaces
used for ICL
-
IKE, high-availability, SSH
-
Protocols depends on routing protocol you need
-
BFD to monitor the neighboring routes
-
Configuration
Before You Begin
Junos IKE package is required on your SRX Series Firewalls for Multinode High Availability configuration. This package is available as a default package or as an optional package on SRX Series Firewalls. See Support for Junos IKE Package for details.
If the package is not installed by default on your SRX Series firewall, use the following command to install it. You require this step for ICL encryption.

Configuration
Step-by-Step Procedure
We're showing the configuration of SRX-01 in the step-by-step procedure.
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For instructions on how to do that, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
-
Configure Interfaces.
[edit] user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/3 description "trust" unit 0 family inet address 10.1.0.1/16 user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/4 description "untrust" unit 0 family inet address 10.2.0.1/16 user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/2 description "ha_link" unit 0 family inet address 10.22.0.1/24
The interfaces ge-0/0/3 connects to the switch, ge-0/0/4 connects the router and the ge-0/0/2 interface is used for the ICL.
-
Configure the loopback interfaces.
[edit] user@host# set interfaces lo0 description "untrust" unit 0 family inet address 10.11.0.1/32 user@host# set interfaces lo0 description "untrust" unit 0 family inet address 10.11.0.2/32 user@host# set interfaces lo0 description "untrust" unit 0 family inet address 10.11.0.3/32
Assign the IP address (10.11.0.1) to the loopback interface. This IP address acts as the floating IP address.
Using the loopback interface ensures that at any given point, traffic from the adjacent routers will be steered toward the floating IP address (that is, toward the active node).
- Configure the security policies.
[edit] user@host# set security policies default-policy permit-all user@host# set security policies global policy All match source-address any user@host# set security policies global policy All match destination-address any user@host# set security policies global policy All match application any user@host# set security policies global policy All then permit
Ensure you have configured security policies as per your network requirements. In this example, you'll configure a policy to permit all traffic.
-
Configure security zones, assign interfaces to the zones, and specify the allowed system services for the security zones.
[edit] user@host# set security zones security-zone untrust host-inbound-traffic system-services ike user@host# set security zones security-zone untrust host-inbound-traffic system-services ping user@host# set security zones security-zone untrust host-inbound-traffic protocols bfd user@host# set security zones security-zone untrust host-inbound-traffic protocols bgp user@host# set security zones security-zone untrust interfaces ge-0/0/4 user@host# set security zones security-zone untrust interfaces lo0.0 user@host# set security zones security-zone trust host-inbound-traffic system-services all user@host# set security zones security-zone trust host-inbound-traffic protocols all user@host# set security zones security-zone trust interfaces ge-0/0/3 user@host# set security zones security-zone halink host-inbound-traffic system-services ike user@host# set security zones security-zone halink host-inbound-traffic system-services ping user@host# set security zones security-zone halink host-inbound-traffic system-services high-availability user@host# set security zones security-zone halink host-inbound-traffic system-services ssh user@host# set security zones security-zone halink host-inbound-traffic protocols bfd user@host# set security zones security-zone halink host-inbound-traffic protocols bgp user@host# set security zones security-zone halink interfaces ge-0/0/2
Assign the interfaces ge-0/0/3 and ge-0/0/4 to the
trustanduntrustzones respectively. Assign the lo0.0 interface to the untrust zone to connect over the public IP network. Assign the interface ge-0/0/2 to the halink zone. You use this zone to set up the ICL. -
Configure routing options.
[edit] user@host# set routing-options autonomous-system 65000 user@host# set routing-options static route 10.4.0.0/16 next-hop 10.2.0.2 user@host# set routing-options static route 10.111.0.2 next-hop 10.2.0.2
-
Configure both local node and peer node details such as node ID, lP addresses of the local node and peer node, and the interface for the peer node.
[edit] user@host# set chassis high-availability local-id 1 user@host# set chassis high-availability local-id local-ip 10.22.0.1 user@host# set chassis high-availability peer-id 2 peer-ip 10.22.0.2 user@host# set chassis high-availability peer-id 2 interface ge-0/0/2.0
You'll use the ge-0/0/2 interface for communicating with the peer node using the ICL.
-
Attach the IPsec VPN profile IPSEC_VPN_ICL to the peer node.
[edit] user@host# set chassis high-availability peer-id 2 vpn-profile IPSEC_VPN_ICL
You'll need this configuration to establish a secure ICL link between the nodes.
-
Configure Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol options for the peer node.
[edit] user@host# set chassis high-availability peer-id 2 liveness-detection minimum-interval 400 user@host# set chassis high-availability peer-id 2 liveness-detection multiplier 5
-
Associate the peer node ID 2 to the services redundancy group 0 (SRG0).
[edit] user@host# set chassis high-availability services-redundancy-group 0 peer-id 2
-
Configure the services redundancy group 1 (SRG1).
[edit] user@host# set chassis high-availability services-redundancy-group 1 deployment-type hybrid user@host# set chassis high-availability services-redundancy-group 1 peer-id 2 user@host# set chassis high-availability services-redundancy-group 1 virtual-ip 1 ip 10.1.0.200/16 user@host# set chassis high-availability services-redundancy-group 1 virtual-ip 1 interface ge-0/0/3.0 user@host# set chassis high-availability services-redundancy-group 1 virtual-ip 1 use-virtual-mac
Assign a virtual IP (VIP) address and an interface for SRG1.

You can configure BFD liveliness by specifying source and destination IP addresses and the interface connecting to the peer device.
For IP monitoring, specify the interfaces used for connecting the neighboring router and switch. -
Configure an active signal route required for activeness enforcement.

The active signal route IP address you assign is used for route preference advertisement.
Note: You must specify the active signal route along with the route-exists policy in the policy-options statement. When you configure theactive-signal-routewithif-route-existscondition, the HA module adds this route to the routing table. -

The same VPN name IPSEC_VPN_ICL must be mentioned for vpn_profile in chassis high availability configuration. Specifying the
ha-link-encryptionoption encrypts the ICL to secure high availability traffic flow between the nodes.
Configuration Options for Software Upgrades
In Multinode High Availability, during software upgrade, you can divert the traffic by closing down interfaces on the node. Here, traffic cannot pass through the nodes. Check Software Upgrade in Multinode High Availability for details.
- Configure all traffic interfaces under “shutdown-on-failure” option.

Meaning
The command output provides the following information:
-
The local gateway and remote gateway details.
-
The IPsec SA pair for each threads in PIC.
-
HA link encryption mode (as shown in the following line):
HA Link Encryption Mode: Multi-Node -
Authentication and encryption algorithms used
The IP range (180.100.1.x) shown in the command output serves as the ICL IPsec traffic selector. The system dynamically assigns this IP range, and it is essential not to alter or modify it. Additionally, BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) will be automatically enabled for the broader 180.x.x.x IP range.
Verify Link Encryption Tunnel Statistics
Purpose
Verify link encryption tunnel statistics on both active and backup nodes.
Action
From operational mode, run the following command:
user@host> show security ipsec statistics ha-link-encryption ESP Statistics: Encrypted bytes: 984248 Decrypted bytes: 462519 Encrypted packets: 9067 Decrypted packets: 8797 AH Statistics: Input bytes: 0 Output bytes: 0 Input packets: 0 Output packets: 0 Errors: AH authentication failures: 0, Replay errors: 0 ESP authentication failures: 0, ESP decryption failures: 0 Bad headers: 0, Bad trailers: 0 Invalid SPI: 0, TS check fail: 0 Exceeds tunnel MTU: 0 Discarded: 0
Meaning
If you see packet loss issues across a VPN, you can run the show
security ipsec statistics ha-link-encryption command several
times to verify that the encrypted and decrypted packet counters are
incrementing. You should also check whether the other error counters are
incrementing.
Use the show security ike active-peer ha-link-encryption
command to display details of ICL on the active peer node.
Use the clear security ipsec statistics ha-link-encryption
command to clear all IPsec statistics.
