Overview

Starting with version 8.3.0, the Forcepoint X10G Appliance network design has been enhanced to enable switch High Availability (HA) either with VLAN or without VLAN configuration. This X10G appliance add-on is now provided to customers who require switch HA but hesitate to configure STP in their network.

This document describes the HA Kit installation process for the Forcepoint X10G Appliance.

General workflow:
  • Removing the switch I/O modules from the X10G chassis
  • Inserting the X10G HA Kit
  • Reinstalling the switch I/O modules
  • Stacking two switch I/O modules
  • Recover network connectivity
