Question

Interface Status Changed Unexpected

I have recently installed a HA pair of FG-71G (v7.6.6). The standby firewall shows the interface status changed as shown below, but there is no log at the switch / firewall the ports connected to. The interface counter seems normal for both sides. I have already replaced the physical cables but problem persists. Any idea if it is a firmware issue or the firewall is faulty?  Thanks.

    Hi Salon,

    Port 3 and 4, connected to a cisco switch in different vlans, B is connected to primary 71G as one of the ha port. 

    We still have Port 1, Port 2, Wan1, Wan2 connected to cisco switch in different vlans, without any logs.

    In July, it was only interface b have these logs. But in Aug, both port 3 and 4 trigger these logs. 

    Thanks,

    Matthew
