HA on SPLAT

[Binary_01]

Ok,

I want to build a HA cluster with Checkpoint R62. Do I need ClusterXL?

From what I understood, you need ClusterXL to provide Active/Active failover. Active/Passive is supported out of the box with the proper HA license. Am I right?

What are the differences between using regular HA and the ClusterXL module?

Thanks!

Hi,

If you want active/passive setup you need a full licence for one gateway and another license for the second gateway at a reduced price.

If you want active/active setup you need, on top of the two licenses mentioned above, also a cluster XL load sharing license.

See also:

for an indication of the prices.

the Cluster XL user guide

Cluster XL is the product/software that allows you to do:
- HA (regular HA if you want to call it like that)
or
- Load Sharing (with an additional license)
