Default Quick Question using HA with Load Balancing
We currently have 2 SPLAT (R65) firewalls running in Active/Standby type mode with SecureXL HA. I would like to enable the load balancing so we can utilize both firewalls instead of one just being in standby. Is this as simple as selecting that option of Load Balance under the cluster properties (or do I need a different license?)? We have a virtual ip on the inside of our firewalls for the default gw for internal clients and then a virtual IP on the outside. And if we use multicast for the load balancing does that mean that multicast routing needs to be set up on the switches that the firewall connects to? Thanks in advance!
