Multinode High Availability Support for vSRX Virtual Firewall Instances

Multinode High Availability addresses high availability requirements for private and public cloud deployments by offering interchassis resiliency.

We support Multinode High Availability on Juniper Networks vSRX Virtual Firewall Virtual Firewalls for the private (Kernel-based virtual machine [KVM] and VMware ESXi) and public cloud (AWS) deployments.

You can configure Multinode High Availability on vSRX instances by using the same method as for physical SRX Series firewalls for private cloud deployments.

To configure Multinode High Availability in VMware ESXi, and KVM:

• Deploy two vSRX Virtual Firewalls instances in private clouds. Refer Install vSRX Virtual Firewall with KVM or Install vSRX Virtual Firewall with VMware vSphere Web Client.

• Setup Multinode High Availability using the instructions available in the following topics:

  • Example: Configure Multinode High Availability in a Default Gateway Deployment
  • Example: Configure Multinode High Availability in a Layer 3 Network
  • Example: Configure Multinode High Availability in a Hybrid Deployment

To configure Multinode High Availability in public cloud deployments:

• See Multinode High Availability in AWS Deployments.
