Clustering Devices

Series 3
With device clustering (also called device high availability), you can establish redundancy of networking
functionality and configuration data between two peer devices or two peer device stacks. See
functionality and configuration data between two peer devices or two peer device stacks. See
for more information about stacking devices.
You achieve configuration redundancy by clustering two peer devices or two peer device stacks as a
single logical system for policy applies, system updates, and registration. The system automatically
synchronizes other configuration data.
single logical system for policy applies, system updates, and registration. The system automatically
synchronizes other configuration data.
Clustering Requirements
Before you can configure a device cluster, both devices or device stack primary members must be the
same model and have identical copper or fiber interfaces. Both devices or device stacks must also be
running the same software and have the same licenses. Device stacks must have identical hardware
configurations, except for an installed malware storage pack. For example, you can cluster a 3D8290
with a 3D8290; none, one, or all devices in either stack might have a malware storage pack. If the devices
are targeted by NAT policies, both peers must have the same NAT policy. After you cluster the devices,
you cannot change the license options for individual clustered devices, but you can change the license
for the entire cluster. See
