If synchronized application control is not working across your network after enabling active-active high availability, what could be the reason?

Synchronized Application Control is designed to provide a unified view and management of applications across a network. In the context of active-active high availability (HA) deployments, certain features may be limited or unsupported to ensure optimal performance and functionality.

In the specific case where Synchronized Application Control is not functional after setting up an active-active HA configuration, the primary reason may stem from the inherent limitations of the technology in this deployment scenario. It is vital for administrators to understand that not all features available in a single instance of the firewall will translate seamlessly to a multi-unit high-availability setting, especially in configurations designed to handle simultaneous traffic across multiple devices.

Both the limitations of application synchronization and the complexities introduced by maintaining state across multiple active devices make it clear that administrators should verify the compatibility of specific features when configuring HA settings. This means recognizing that Synchronized Application Control may not be supported within this specific scenario, guiding users towards alternative methods or configurations that ensure effective application management in high-availability environments.
