I would definitely go for an extra interface on each member exclusively for sync, BUT using a crossover cable for such purposes is not recommended. Te reason is in case of a cable failure, there is not reference point for both members to find out which one is having problems as both loose link on

I am not sure how a ClusterXL ever going to work with a crossover cable because there are 3 devices involved in the SYNC network. 2 Gateways and 1 (or more, if you have Management backup) Management server, all 3 devices have to have a SYNC network defined. This is the way; I always built a

Ahem, you're not actually synching the connections table with your management server, do you? What I think, you mean it the management lan, if you have a dedicated one. But synching is usually done between the enforcement modules, where I prefer dedicated network interfaces as well. My $.02

It looks like you have a problem with your switch not allowing multicast. If you have a Cisco switch, then you might have the no ip igmp snooping option turned on which would prevent the synchronization from occurring correctly (at least this is what has happened in my experience). You could

you have it wrong somewhere. only the two enforcement points need to have a sync network. You possibly rightno argument there. But is working when including the management server on the SYNC side and never had an issue doing it the wrong way and never used a crossover cable, only

Yes... Roger. Your way and others is cleaner way of doing it... but in my case the SYNC and management LAN is combined on a single interface, single VLAN. GIG interface cards on all servers/gateways and GIG ports on the Switch on a dedicated non-routable VLAN. Some time ago, when initially set

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there a rule that needs to be created to allow the broadcast traffic to propagate, or will it be passed due to implicit rules? -Original Message- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Odendaal
