## Symptoms

- Policy installation fails with error message "*Layer 'Network': Rule \<NUMBER\> has security zone objects that are not attached to any interface used in \<NAME OF CLUSTER\> \<NAME OF SECURITY ZONE\>.*", even though the Security Zone object is configured on one of the cluster interfaces.

## Cause

When the cluster member with highest priority does not have an interface attached to the used Security Zones, policy verification fails.  

Example of configuration where policy installation fails:
