Hi,
  I have 2 bridge firewalls with HA configured (no CARP). They sync both state table and configurations (fw rule, etc.), but when I reboot a fw they stop sync the state table but they keep sync the configurations.
They restart to sync the state table when I press the save button in the HA configuration page (System->High Availability->Settings) of the rebooted fw. The pfsync interface of the rebooted fw is not configured (syncpeer and syndev not set) until I press the save button.

When the 2 firewalls are sync the state table, I have the following in both the firewalls

   groups: pfsync
   pfsync: syncdev: em4 syncpeer: 224.0.0.240 maxupd: 128 defer: off

when I reboot a fw, in the rebooted fw I have
