This technote contains the following for deploying high-end SRX Series devices (SRX1400, SRX3400, SRX3600, SRX5600, SRX5800) as a Chassis Cluster for High Availability:
For other SRX devices, refer to the following articles:
The following example steps thru the configuration of a pair of SRX5800 devices in HA:
Important Note: The above example can be used for configuring the SRX1400, SRX3400, and SRX3600 too, except for the
control-ports configuration. The 'set chassis cluster control-ports' commands are
not set for these devices:
The SRX1400 automatically uses transit ports ge-0/0/10 and ge-0/0/11 for the control ports 0 and 1 respectively. See
KB20916 - Control ports for Chassis Cluster configuration on SRX1400.
The SRX3400 and SRX3600 uses two designated, labeled ports for the control ports.
The configuration examples at the link above are an update to the following document based on Junos 9.6:
