  • Switch Uplink
  • PoE Management Mode

On a TZ Series system with High Availability enabled, an Extended Switch can be added by specifying these Extended Switch Parameters:

Mandatory Parameters Optional Parameters
  • ID
  • Username
  • STP Mode
  • PoE Usage Threshold
  • Switch Model

The Firewall Uplink and Switch Uplink parameters are not relevant for an appliance operating in High Availability mode. Currently, the mandatory parameters cannot be modified after configuration.
