Hi there,

I just wonder.. Is it possible to set up a standalone firewall with HA/Load balancing mode first before bringing up another firewall to join as a cluster? I tried to configure HA mode via CPCONFIG utility after I had configured certain rules and cluster objects, but once I had enable the HA mode and did a reboot it suddenly unable to communicate with management server and unable to ping any machine in internal LAN except external network. I notice on my ce1 card stated below (during bootup)

Aug 19 12:07:37 saturno ip: [ID 856290 kern.notice] ip: joining multicasts > 
failed (3) on ce1 - will use link layer broadcasts for multicast.

I realized that this happened when I enable the HA mode.

Any solution about this? Is it a must to have another machine in order to 
create a cluster?

Thanks very much in advance.

Regards,

Al
