      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.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: 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 restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
