      Hi everyone,
      I have a network as following and want to set up redundancy on both firewalls and switches.
      There two xg-7100 1u firewalls doing HA like the example in the manual, two Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 connected with a trunk line SW1:1/SW2:1, and a server running Debian.

      0_1548900032396_setup_1.png The blue lines are currently connected and the network works as expected without the redundancy.

      I would like to know how to achieve the redundancy on firewalls and switches.

      1. For the firewalls, i have read the post , i tried to set up like that but it not work, should i need to do some configuration on switches or missing other setup.?

      2. For the Server, I design to create bonding on two interface, which mode should i use?

      Please let me know if there is any information is missing.

      Thanks all.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
