Frequently Asked Questions
What is High Availability (HA) for firewalls?
High Availability ensures that your network security remains operational even if one firewall fails. It involves a pair of firewalls where one is active and the other is on standby, ready to take over immediately if the active unit goes offline.
What happens if my primary firewall fails with this license?
If the primary WatchGuard M395 firewall fails, the secondary firewall configured in HA mode will automatically take over its functions, ensuring continuous network connectivity and security without manual intervention.
Does this license include hardware replacement?
This license enables the High Availability functionality, which relies on having a second, operational firewall unit. It ensures uptime during a failure but does not typically include the replacement of the failed hardware itself, which would be covered under a separate hardware warranty or support contract.
