HA with VM software to Hardware device

We are going to set up redundancy with two ISP, and use DNS for failover. Currently we have sohpos in VMware. We want to had another sophos for redundacy (HA), a hardware device, and use Link balancing between the two ISPs. . Problem: How would you connect the two via ports for HA? The vmware nics/ports are all virtual, that connect to a juniper device which is the core switch. Its my understanding that most with two hardware devices connect direct. With a VM host, it of course would have to go through the VM virtual nics assigned and those connect to our juniper. Juniper to the cisco main switches. 

Our set up: Internet comes into the main switches under a vlan name. The main switch connect to the juniper with assigned vlan, which is untrust vlan. That passes to the Sophos UTM.

  • Hi,

    I am sure that the HA is not possible between a software and a hardware UTM. 

    Again, if by "hardware," you mean a Sophos hardware appliance, then it is not possible.  If you mean that you have your own hardware and are running the UTM software appliance on it, then the answer to your question is "yes" if you configure both with the same number of active NICs.

    Thanks
