Setting up Sophos XG HA

Question

Hello 
 
 Is it possible to set up/add another firewall to an existing XG for HA, Active-Active or active-passive? The Virtual XG is hosted in Azure. We just want to fail-over automaticly. 
 
 I've followed this one but it did not work.

Azure does not support the HA System by Sophos. 
 SFOS uses a multicast approach --> and multicast is not support in Azure. Same with virtual IP. 
 You need to use the load balancing.

As you mentioned, the KB above is the only guide: Sophos Firewall: Implement a full HA (inbound/outbound) on Azure if this is not working, you can raise your issues in the thread. 
 In bigger installations, you can raise it with your sophos partner.
