Dear experts,

I had a problem with our firewall cluster which doesn't work properly due to the synchronization error as stated below:

*fwe3 firewall*
Apr 13 11:05:40 fwe3xxx.xxxx.xx fw: [ID 544343 kern.notice] CPHA: Found another machine with same cluster ID. There is probably another cluster Apr 13 11:05:40 fwe3xxx.xxxx.xx connected to the same switch/hub as this one. Apr 13 11:05:40 fwe3xxx.xxxx.xx fw: [ID 407823 kern.notice] CPHA: This is an illegal configuration. Each cluster should be connected to another set of switches/hubs.

The firewall's H.A link detected that its partner is down.

Cluster Mode:   Sync only (OPSEC)

Number     Unique Address  Firewall State (*)

1          10.1.0.1        down
2 (local)  10.1.0.3        active

(*) FW-1 monitors only the sync operation and the security policy
   Use OPSEC's monitoring tool to get the cluster status

and it is similar to fwe1 firewall as shown below.

*fwe1 firewall

*Apr 13 11:05:30 fwe1xxx.xxxx.xx fw: CPHA: Found another machine with same cluster ID. There is probably another cluster Apr 13 11:05:30 fwe1xxx.xxxx.xx connected to the same switch/hub as this one. Apr 13 11:05:30 fwe1xxx.xxxx.xx fw: CPHA: This is an illegal configuration. Each cluster should be connected to another set of switches/hubs.


Cluster Mode:   Sync only (OPSEC)

Number     Unique Address  Firewall State (*)

1(local) 10.1.0.1        active
2  10.1.0.3        down

How to fix this? FYI, I'm using RainWall 3.1 SP5 and Check Point NG AI R55 HFA15. Please help me on this matter.

Thanks very much.

Regards,

Al
