Stretched HA Firewall

Cisco supports a stretched Active-Standby firewall system if:

• ACI operates in layer 2,
• the firewall operates as the IP default gateway for the endpoints or the firewall operates in Transparent mode or the active and standby nodes are connected with an L3Out.

Independent HA Firewalls

If I have to deploy Active-Standby Firewalls, Cisco recommends to deploy them as independent HA firewalls in the ACI sites (i.e. not across the intersite link)
