Note: In release 10.2 version 2, this functionality is applicable to the 1100 SE appliance only.

The following procedure describes the steps to enable High Availability (HA) on 1100 SE appliances deployed in Edge Mode where the handoffs from the WAN link service providers are fiber optic. The available Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports on 1100 appliances can be used with fiber optic Y-Cables to enable high availability feature for Edge Mode deployment. On the 1100 SE appliance the splitter cable split end connects to fiber ports of two 1100 appliances that are configured in HA pair. The fiber optic Y-Cable has three ends. One end connects to the fiber handoff of the provider and the other two ends connect to SFP ports configured for that WAN link on two 1100 SE appliances deployed in HA pair. The splitter cable is used to divide one incoming signal into multiple signals.

For information on SD-WAN Orchestrator service-based Edge Mode HA deployment, see Device details.
