List of Configurations Supporting Backup and Not Supporting Backup

The configurations supporting backup in mirroring and non-mirroring modes are different. Before configuring and maintaining hot standby, read this section to learn configurations supporting backup and not supporting backup.

In most cases, display, reset, and debugging commands cannot be backed up.

Table 1 List of configurations supporting backup and not supporting backup

Item

Mirroring Mode

Non-mirroring Mode

Description

Interface

Partially supported

Partially supported

In mirroring mode, most interface configurations can be backed up, such as the interface IPv4 addresses, interface IPv6 addresses, interface MTUs, creation and deletion of logic interfaces, switching from Layer 3 interfaces to Layer 2 interfaces, and the duplex mode of interfaces. The shutdown command cannot be backed up.

In non-mirroring mode, most interface configurations cannot be backed up, but the creation and deletion of logical interfaces can be backed up.

Interface Pair

Supported

Supported

-

Static Route

Supported

Supported

In non-mirroring mode, static routes can be backed up only after the hrp auto-sync config static-route command is run.

Dynamic Route

Supported

Not Supported

In mirroring mode, dynamic routing configuration can be backed up. However, for smooth service switching during active/standby switchover in mirroring mode, the routes between the firewall and its upstream and downstream devices do not support dynamic routing. For details, see Hot Standby in Mirroring Mode.

Intelligent Uplink Selection

Supported

Partially supported

In non-mirroring mode, policy-based routes can be backed up after the hrp auto-sync config policy-based-route command is run.

In mirroring mode, intelligent uplink selection configuration can be backed up. However, for smooth service switching during active/standby switchover in mirroring mode, the configurations of the routes between the firewall and its upstream and downstream devices do not support intelligent uplink selection. For details, see Hot Standby in Mirroring Mode.

VLAN

Supported

Not Supported

-

Virtual System

Supported

Supported

Include the creation of virtual systems and service configuration commands on virtual systems.

The IP addresses and security zones of virtual-if interfaces are not backed up. You need to configure them separately on the active and standby devices.

Hot Standby

Partially supported

Partially supported

Commands that cannot be backed up in mirroring mode: hrp interface, hrp encryption-key, hrp configuration check, and hrp switch

Commands that cannot be backed up in non-mirroring mode: hrp interface, hrp adjust enable, hrp preempt, hrp track interface, hrp track ip-link, hrp track bfd-session, hrp track trunk-member enable, hrp encryption-key, hrp tcp link-state check delay, hrp configuration check, and hrp switch

Security Zone

Supported

Supported

Indicate creating and deleting security zones and assigning interfaces to security zones.

Supported

Supported

When you run the hrp sync config command to manually back up data in batches, the configuration information in the SSL VPN database cannot be backed up.

Supported

Supported

Include traffic policies and traffic profiles.

Supported

Supported

-

User Authentication

Supported

Supported

  • Users' configuration information consists of two parts: some configuration information is stored in the configuration file and can be backed up manually in batches or automatically, and the other configuration information is stored in the user database and can only be backed up automatically.
  • When you run the hrp sync config command to manually back up data in batches, the configuration information in the user database cannot be backed up.
  • In the hot backup scenario, you need to import a CSV file to both the active and standby FWs. This is because the active FW does not automatically synchronize the imported users to the standby FW.

Authentication Server

Supported

Supported

Authentication servers include RADIUS, HWTACACS, AD, LDAP, and Agile Controller authentication servers.

  • Commands that cannot be backed up in mirroring mode: firewall source-ip and hwtacacs-server source-ip.
  • Commands that cannot be backed up in non-mirroring mode: radius-server authentication source ip-address, radius-server accounting source ip-address, hwtacacs-server source-ip, ad-server source ip-address, ldap-server source ip-address, and firewall source-ip.
