Hi everyone,
I have two Peplink Balance 1350 units running firmware 8.5.2, configured in HA with full configuration sync.
I’d appreciate your input regarding the following scenario:
The preferred master goes down.
The slave becomes the active master.
While the preferred master is offline, we disable configuration sync and make some changes (specifically adding SpeedFusion VPN tunnels) on the new active unit.
My questions:
-
When the original master comes back online, which unit will become the active master?
-
How can I make sure the current active unit (former slave) stays as master, even after the original preferred master is back, so the newly added configurations aren’t lost?
-
If both units end up in “master” state, which one keeps the active role, and based on what logic or setting?
Also, I would like the original master, once back online, to automatically take the updated configuration from the current master and continue working with those settings as the new baseline.
Thanks in advance for your help!
