CSDS Single MX Series (CSDS Traffic Orchestrator) and Scaled-Out SRX Series Firewalls (MNHA)

Learn about CSDS topology with single MX Series router and scaled-out SRX Series Firewalls in Multinode HA mode.

Figure 1 illustrates the CSDS topology with single MX Series routers and scaled-out SRX Series Firewalls in Multinode HA (MNHA) mode. The topology offers redundancy for the SRX Series Firewalls. The MX Series lacks redundancy, even though it has a second Routing Engine (RE).

MNHA offers sessions synchronization within a cluster addressing failure scenarios. So the topology provides each SRX Series Firewalls pair with redundancy and scaling although no redundnacy on MX Series except for the dual RE support.
