Configuring Security Group High Availability

Note - Do not confuse this section with Configuring Weights for Security Group Members that is related to traffic distribution inside a Security Group.

Setting Security Group Weights (High Availability Factors)

Each hardware component in a Security Group Member has a quality weight factor, which sets its relative importance to overall Security Group health.

For example, ports are more important than other components and are typically assigned a higher weight value.

The Security Group Member grade is the sum of all component weight values.

In a dual Dual Site environment, the Security Group with the higher grade becomes Active and handles traffic.

The grade for each component is calculated based on this formula:

(Unit Weight) x (Number of components in the state "UP")

To see the weight of each component, run in Gaia gClish on a Security Group:
