Configuring High Availability

High Availability cannot be used along with PortShield except with the SonicWall X-Series/N-Series Solution. Before configuring HA, remove any existing PortShield configuration from NETWORK | System > PortShield Groups. For more information, go to https://www.sonicwall.com/support/technical-documentation/ and search for the SonicWall TZ Series in the Select A Product field.

For a description of High Availability in SonicOS, see About High Availability and Active/Active Clustering.
