      Hi,

      I have a problem when trying to configure the HA setup as described in the pfsense guide.
      I have 2 Netgate 1537 devices and configured HA on them by following the guide online.
      Now everything works until the last step:

      "Set the Failover Peer IP to the actual LAN IP address of the secondary node"

      When I check the DHCP server config, I cannot find any field for this.
      I do use the Kea DHCP backend as requested by pfsense as the ISC backend will be removed in the future.
      I don't think this could be the reason behind this?
      Now to complete the setup I really want to configure this to avoid issues in the future.
      Anyone any idea how I can add this value or what the problem could be?

      I tried manually adding it in the "edit file" but as I'm not familiar with it so I don't try to mess with it.
      Any help would be appropriated.

      Thanks,

        KEA doesn't support HA at this time.

          I recently followed the same guide and stumbled over that thread because I have the same issue.
          Is it support now?
          thanks,
