Frequently Asked Questions
What is WatchGuard High Availability?
WatchGuard High Availability (HA) allows you to deploy two identical WatchGuard appliances in an active/passive configuration. If the active appliance fails, the passive appliance automatically takes over its security functions, ensuring continuous network protection and access.
What happens if the passive appliance fails?
The High Availability configuration is designed for active/passive redundancy. If the active appliance fails, the passive appliance takes over. If the passive appliance were to fail, the active appliance would continue to operate, but you would lose the redundancy benefit until the passive unit is replaced or repaired.
Does this subscription include the hardware?
No, this is a subscription for the High Availability functionality. It requires two identical WatchGuard M595 appliances to be purchased separately to enable the redundant configuration.
