DHCP and PPPoE interfaces are supportedįortigate HA Configuration Configuring Primary FortiGate for HAģ.Physical link between Firewalls for heartbeat.

Two to Four identical FortiGate Firewall (same Model ).FGCP travels between FortiGate cluster devices over the heartbeat links and uses TCP port 703 with Ethernet type values: HA Protocol used by FortiGate Cluster to communicate. Only difference in Active / Active mode is that in A/A mode all the FortiGate devices are processing the traffic. Active / Active -All HA configuration must be in-synchronisation.If the problem is detected in the Primary FortiGate, the secondary device takes over the primary role. Secondary FortiGate device remains in Passive mode and monitors the status of the primary device. In Active/Passive mode the primary device is the only equipment which can actively process the traffic. Active / Passive- Configuration of primary and secondary devices are in synchronisation.There are two Fortigate HA modes available: Other FortiGate devices are called Secondary or Standby devices. Active device synchronises its configuration with another device in the group. In FortiGate HA one device will act as a primary device (also called Active FortiGate). HA links and synchronises two or more devices. High Availability (HA) is a feature of Firewalls in which two or more devices are grouped together to provide redundancy in the network.
