SG 135 HA 'Unlinked'

The slave node in one pair of our SG135s regularly shows as Unlinked, even though it's fully cabled up to match the master.  Is there a way to determine why it's in the unlinked state?  Which interface it's (incorrectly) identifying as down?  Any help would be appreciated!

Edit - we're running 9.355-1 if that matters.

  • Hi, T G, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Is there anything in the high availability log that looks suspicious?

    Cheers-  Bob

  • If you can post screenshot from the dashboard page, that would also be useful.

  • The HA logs just show what I assume is a standard health check, they don't specify why it fails.  See below:

    2016:03:02-12:56:39 fw-2 ha_mode[20761]: check: waiting for last ha_mode done

  • The dashboard has all kinds of serial numbers and stuff on it, I'd rather not post it.  What info from the DB can I provide that'd be relevant?

  • Just hide the proprietary information.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Alright, pardon my poor MSpaint censoring.  Here's the dashboard:

  • Looking at your dashboard, all I can say is that it looks perfect (at the time when screenshot was made).

    1. How did you connect eth3 interfaces, directly with crossover cable or via switch device ?
    2. How often do you see "status=UNLINKED" message in HA log file ?

  • 1) The HA ports (eth3) are directly connected, no intermediary devices.

     2) Every couple of minutes the slave reports 'Unlinked' in the HA log,  No details, just status messages like this:

    2016:03:07-11:33:25 fw-2 ha_mode[21110]: calling check

    2016:03:07-11:33:25 fw-2 ha_mode[21110]: check: waiting for last ha_mode done
    2016:03:07-11:33:25 fw-2 ha_mode[21110]: check_ha() role=SLAVE, status=UNLINKED
    2016:03:07-11:33:25 fw-2 ha_mode[21110]: check done (started at 11:33:25)
  • Hello,

     

    There is a KB article by Sophos I followed it and fixed my UNLINKED issue https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/126826
