Multinode High Availability in AWS Deployments
SUMMARY Read this topic to understand Multinode High Availability support for vSRX Virtual Firewall instances in Amazon Web Services (AWS) deployments.
Multinode High Availability in AWS
You can configure Multinode High Availability on the vSRX Virtual Firewall firewalls deployed on AWS. Participating nodes run both active control and data planes at the same time and the nodes backup each other to ensure a fast synchronized failover in case of system or hardware failure. The interchassis link (ICL) connection between the two devices synchronizes and maintains the state information and handles device failover scenarios.
Let's begin by getting familiar with the Multinode High Availability terms specific to the AWS deployment.
Terminology
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
|
Elastic IP address |
Public IPv4 address that is routable from a specified network or from the Internet. Elastic IP addresses are dynamically bound to an interface of any node in a Multinode High Availability setup. At any given time, these addresses are bound to only one interface and are also bound to the same node. The Multinode High Availability setup uses Elastic IP addresses to control the traffic in AWS deployments. Elastic IP address acts similar to floating IP address in the Layer 3 deployment or a virtual IP address as in the default gateway deployment. The node with an active SRG1 owns the Elastic IP address and draws the traffic toward it. |
|
Interchassis link (ICL) |
IP-based link (logical link) that connects nodes over a routed network in a Multinode High Availability system. The security device uses the ICL to synchronize and maintain the state information and to handle device failover scenarios. You can use only the ge-0/0/0 interface to configure an ICL. The ICL uses the MAC address assigned by AWS (not the virtual MAC created by vSRX Virtual Firewall). When you configure the ICL, ensure that the IP address is a subnet of of the virtual private cloud (VPC). Note that Multibode High Availability does not support cross-VPC deployment |
| Juniper Services Redundancy Protocol (jsrpd) process |
Process that manages activeness determination and enforcement, and provide split-brain protection. |
We don't support IPsec VPN for Multinode High Availability in AWS deployments.
Architecture
Figure 1 shows two vSRX Virtual Firewall instances form an HA pair in the Multinode High Availability deployment in AWS. One vSRX Virtual Firewall instance acts as the active node and the other as the backup node.
In a Multinode High Availability setup, an ICL connects the two nodes (vSRX Virtual Firewall instances) and helps synchronize the control-plane and data-plane states.
In Multinode High Availability setup, two vSRX Virtual Firewall instances are operating in active/backup mode. Both nodes connect to each other using an ICL for synchronizing control and data plane states. The vSRX Virtual Firewall instance on which the SRG1 is active hosts the Elastic IP address. The active node steers traffic toward it using the Elastic IP address. The backup node remains in standby mode and takes over on failover.
The Juniper Services Redundancy Protocol (jsrpd) process communicates with the AWS infrastructure to perform activeness determination and enforcement and provides split-brain protection.
During a failover, the Elastic IP address moves from the old active node to the new active node by triggering the AWS SDK API and draws traffic toward the new active node. AWS updates the route tables to divert the traffic to the new active node. This mechanism enables clients to communicate with the nodes using a single IP address. You configure the Elastic IP address on the interface that connects to participating networks/segments.
Split-Brain Protection
When the ICL between two nodes goes down, each node starts pinging to the peer node’s interface IP address using the probes. If the peer node is healthy, it responds to the probes. Otherwise, the jsrpd process communicates with the AWS infrastructure to enforce the active role for the healthy node.
Example: Configure Multinode High Availability in AWS Deployment
In this example, we'll show you how to configure Multinode High Availability on two vSRX Virtual Firewall instances in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).
Requirements
This example uses the following components:
-
Two vSRX Virtual Firewall instances
-
Junos OS Release 22.3R1
-
An Amazon Web Services (AWS) account and an identity and access management (IAM) role, with all required permissions to access, create, modify, and delete Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) objects. See Configure an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud for vSRX for details.
-
An Amazon VPC configured with its associated Internet gateway, subnets, route table, and security groups. See Configure an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud for vSRX.
-
A vSRX Virtual Firewall instance launched and configured in Amazon VPC. See Launch a vSRX Instance on an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.
Topology
Figure 2 shows the topology used in this example.
As shown in the topology, two vSRX Virtual Firewall instances (vSRX Virtual Firewall-1 and vSRX Virtual Firewall-2) are deployed in the Amazon VPC. The nodes communicate with each other using a routable IP address (Elastic IP address). The untrust side connects to a public network while the trust side connects to the protected resources.
Complete the following configurations before configuring Multinode High Availability on the vSRX Virtual Firewall instances:
-
Use instance tag in AWS to identify the two vSRX Virtual Firewall instances as Multinode High Availability peers. For example, you can use vsrx-node-1 as the name of one peer (Name option) and vsrx-node-2 as the HA peer (ha-peer option).
- Deploy both vSRX Virtual Firewall instances in the same Amazon VPC and availability zone.
- Assign IAM role for both the vSRX Virtual Firewall instances and launch vSRX Virtual Firewall instances as a Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance with full permissions.
- Enable communication to the Internet by placing vSRX Virtual Firewall instances in the public subnet. In the Amazon VPC, public subnets have access to the Internet gateway.
- Configure a VPC with multiple subnets to host the high availability pair.
The subnets are used to connect the two vSRX Virtual Firewall nodes using a
logical connection (similar to the physical cable connecting ports). In this
example, we have defined CIDR for VPC as 10.0.0.0/16, and created a total of
four subnets to host the vSRX Virtual Firewall traffic. You need a minimum
of four interfaces for both vSRX Virtual Firewall instances. Table 1 provides
the subnet and interface details.
Table 1: Subnets Configurations Function Port Number Interface Connection Traffic Type Subnet Management 0 fxp0 Management interface Management traffic 10.0.254.0/24 ICL 1 ge-0/0/0 ICL to peer node RTO, sync, and probes-related traffic 10.0.253.0/24 Public 2 ge-0/0/1 Connect to public network. (Revenue interface) External traffic 10.0.1.0/24 Private 3 ge-0/0/2 Connect to private network. (Revenue interface) Internal traffic 10.0.2.0/24 Note that the interface mapping with functionality mentioned in the table is for default configuration. We recommend to use the same mapping in the configuration.
- Configure interfaces with primary and secondary IP addresses. You can assign
Elastic IP address as secondary IP addresses for an interface. You need the
primary IP address while launching the instance. The secondary IP address is
transferable from one vSRX Virtual Firewall node to another during a
failover. Table 2 shows interface and IP address mappings used in this example.
Table 2: Interface and IP Address Mappings Instance Interface Primary IP Address Secondary IP Address (Elastic IP Address) vSRX Virtual Firewall-1 ge-0/0/1 10.0.1.101 10.0.1.103 ge-0/0/2 10.0.2.201 10.0.2.203 vSRX Virtual Firewall-2 ge-0/0/1 10.0.1.102 10.0.1.103 ge-0/0/2 10.0.2.202 10.0.2.203 -
Configure neighboring routers to include vSRX Virtual Firewall in the data path and mark vSRX Virtual Firewall as the next hop for the traffic. You can use an Elastic IP address to configure the route. For example, use the command
sudo ip route x.x.x.x/x dev ens6 via 10.0.2.203, where the 10.0.2.203 address is an Elastic IP address.

Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For instructions on how to do that, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
-
Configure ge-0/0/0 as the interface for the ICL
[edit] user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/0 mtu 9192 user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.3.11/24
- Configure interfaces for internal and external traffic.
[edit] user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/1 mtu 9192 user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.1.102/24 primary user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.1.103/24 user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/2 mtu 9192 user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/2 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.2.202/24 primary user@host# set interfaces ge-0/0/2 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.2.203/24
We'll use the secondary IP address assigned to ge-0/0/1 and ge-0/0/2 as Elastic IP address.
-
Configure security zones, assign interfaces to the zones, and specify allowed system services for the security zones .
