      Question: Can we have HA setup between Netgate 2100 and Netgate 4100 device?

      Is it absolutely required that both devices need to be on same hardware spec with exact match?

        @jasjitchopra It used to be the case to sync states, but not since 22.01, see
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/highavailability/pfsync.html#pfsync-and-physical-interfaces

        Edit: to clarify, the hardware doesn't have to be identical for HA, but the interfaces/interface order needed to be. If the routers have the same packages and usage then it would help if they are reasonably close in spec.

        Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
