Example network set up for HA/DR configuration with two HA groups

The example shows the network configuration for an HA pair at the main site with disaster recover to another HA pair at a recovery site.

The configuration is illustrated in the following diagram. The two HA appliances at each site are located in adjacent racks, and are directly connected to each other with the supplied cables. The replication connection to the recovery appliance and the data connection for applications are made by way of a switch.

Figure 1. Example HA/DR network configuration
shows how the HA appliances are connected to each other and to the DR appliance

The following tables show how the Ethernet ports are configured on the two HA appliances, HA1 and HA2 at the main site. The same arrangement is used at the recovery site
