The HA unit shares identical hardware specifications with the primary TZ480 including 4 Gbps firewall throughput, 256 MB\/s VPN throughput, 281.60 MB\/s IPS throughput, and 18,000 new connections per second across 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP expansion slots in a 1.81 lb Gen 8 desktop chassis running SonicOS 8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an active\/passive HA pair, the secondary unit continuously synchronizes configuration, session state, and security policies from the primary TZ480 through a dedicated HA link, assuming the primary role within seconds of detecting a failure with no manual intervention required. The HA unit inherits security service licensing from the primary appliance, so no separate subscription is needed.
