I do have the HA Slave LAN port plugged into Switch 2. &nbsp;I did some testing last evening. &nbsp;I did not realize that the HA Slave would take over if the HA Master lost its LAN connection. &nbsp;I thought that the HA Master had to completely go down before the HA Slave would take over. &nbsp;I was basing my wiring configuration off of a diagram that I found on the Sophos forums. &nbsp;<br />

Thank you for taking a moment to reply and saving me the trouble of going through some unnecessary configuration.

Philip,

I do have the HA Slave LAN port plugged into Switch 2.  I did some testing last evening.  I did not realize that the HA Slave would take over if the HA Master lost its LAN connection.  I thought that the HA Master had to completely go down before the HA Slave would take over.  I was basing my wiring configuration off of a diagram that I found on the Sophos forums.  

Thank you for taking a moment to reply and saving me the trouble of going through some unnecessary configuration.

I have two Sophos SG 230's that are configured for HA. &nbsp;I have the LAN Port on the Master going to Switch 1. &nbsp;I have the LAN Port on the Slave going to Switch 1. &nbsp;I would like to add another LAN interface in the UTMs that I can use to connect them to Switch 2 for redundancy purposes. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
To properly do this, would I simply change interface eth0 (my current LAN interface) from &quot;Type: Ethernet&quot; to &quot;Type: Bridge&quot; and select one of the available interfaces / nics available on the UTM?
