Chassis Cluster HA Control Link Encryption

Connect the dedicated control ports on node 0 and node 1. Connect the user defined fabricated ports on node 0 and node 1. To configure two chassis in cluster mode, follow the below steps:

Enable chassis cluster mode on both the nodes, see SRX Series Chassis Cluster Configuration Overview.

  1. After enabling the chassis cluster, in the device 1, configure HA link encryption as shown in sample configuration below, commit and reboot. Device 1 needs to be configured with both node0 and node1 HA link encryption configuration before commit and reboot.
  2. To proceed further with device 2 configuration and commit, you need to ensure device 1 and device 2 are not reachable to each other. One way to achieve this is to power off device 1 at this point.
  3. After the device 2 is up, configure HA link encryption as shown in sample configuration below on device 2. Device 2 needs to be configured with both node0 and node1 HA link encryption configuration. Commit on node1 (device 2), and finally reboot node1 (device 2).
    Note: To enable HA link encryption on node1 in step 3, the other node needs to be in lost state for the commit to go through. So this timing needs to be taken care by you, else step 3 needs to be redone until enabling HA link encryption on node1 commit goes through.
