Palo Alto HA Setup – Part 2: Internal LACP, Nexus Integration & Port Monitoring Failover

In Part 2 of the Palo Alto High Availability series, we move inside the fabric—connecting our Active-Passive HA pair to internal Nexus switches using LACP, configuring port monitoring, and validating failover behaviour. 🔧 What’s covered: • Internal interface setup using LACP • Nexus switch configuration for HA uplinks • Port monitoring for internal link failure detection • Live failover tests: internal link failure & full device shutdown • Preempt behaviour validation with VM-based Palo Alto firewalls ⚠️ Note: VM-based Palo Alto firewalls do not support true active-active HA, and failover is slower than on physical hardware. Still, this lab gives you a clean, testable foundation for real-world deployments.
