Default Third cluster member-requirements

Hi there,

I'm currently running a cluster of two NGX R62 enforcement modules with the exact same hardware config, obviously.

I would like to add a third member to the group in our DRC.

Each of the current nodes has currently 8 eth interfaces.

Do I strictly need the same hardware config for the third node ?

Can I use, for example, VLAN trunking on some interfaces in order to make the third node hardware costs 'lighter' ?

The config would show up the same number of interfaces (though not physical ones for all of them).

I'm afraid the answer is 'no way', but wanted to make sure.

Thank you for your input.

Regards,

Philippe B.

The interfaces absolutely must match one-for-one. Sorry.
