      Hi.

      I have SG-350 Cisco switch and I just found out that the CARP is not supported. I need HA configuration on the firewall. Can you suggest any switch vendors who support CARP and can be used in production environment?

        @patrykk What do you mean CARP is not supported? If VRRP is supported CARP will almost certainly work.

        All the switch has to support, in general, is multicast between nodes on the VLAN. The switch itself has no idea CARP is actually running. All it needs to do is pass the heartbeats and move the MAC addresses from port to port as any switch should do. It doesn't have to support CARP specifically.

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