    Please try below steps to fix HA and config sync issues.

     

    1. Device Groups >put both boxes back to available.
    2. Delete the existing device group.
    3. Reset Device Trust. Choose Generate New Self-Signed Authority.
    4. reboot the device
    5. Device Trust>Peer list. Establish peering by giving right peer IP's.
    6. Create device groups. "Sync-Failover". Put both devices in "includes". and check Network Failover (Network failover listen on udp port 1026)
    7. Confirm both devices are in the Device List area.
    8. Overview>(click self device)>choose "Sync Device to Group">Choose "Overwrite Configuration">Sync

    ***** Make sure both devices are using admin username for syncing and they should have same password*****

     

    Hope this helps. If any issues please let us know.

  • Did you check the logs ? Do you have network failover configured ?
