The physical port is for hardware failover. See this link for more details.

Yes i have read that but how do we assign that particular port as part of HA.We have two appliances and we have given it to user serial cable and not network but when we connected just that failover port.HA wasn't happening.So we have assigned one of data ports for HA and then failover and HA seems to be working.IS it a port, just for sending heartbeats to see whether other is down or not ? We cannot assign this particular anywhere in particular ?We just have to keep it connected physically ?

When u went thru the setup did u select network failover? If so then in the failover section you can choose which interface to select for configsync, mirroring and failover.
