Refresh Node Status for a Single Firewall Threat Defense High Availability Pair

Whenever active or standby devices in the Firewall Threat Defense high availability pair are rebooted, the Firewall Management Center may not display accurate high availability status for either device. This is because when the device reboots, the high availability status is immediately updated on the device and its corresponding event is sent to the Firewall Management Center. However, the status may not be updated on the Firewall Management Center because the communication between the device and the Firewall Management Center is yet to be established.

Communication failures or weak communication channels between the Firewall Management Center and devices may result in out of sync data. When you switch the active and standby devices in a high availability pair, the change may not be reflected in the Firewall Management Center even after a significant time duration.

In these scenarios, you can refresh the high availability node status to obtain accurate information about the active and standby device in a high availability pair.
