Configuring VM FIPS HA
In a Virtual Machine (VM) HA configuration, connect the network management interface (wancom0) and media interfaces over virtual network switches via the hypervisor. This is no different for a FIPS-compliant HA implementation. Use a RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect wancom1 of the Primary node to wancom1 of the Secondary node.
The following is an example setup console log for a FIPS VME
primary
E-SBC.
