Templates and High Availablity

You can apply device templates on threat defense high-availability devices after device registration. High-availability-specific configurations are not supported in device templates. Any high-availability configurations and monitored interfaces that are already part of the target high-availability device pair configurations are not modified. You cannot map any template interfaces to failover interfaces.

You can generate a device template from a high-availability device pair. Template operations such as application of the template on a device, template generation, importing, and exporting of a template, can be performed only on the active unit. You cannot perform these operations on the standby unit.
