FortiGate-7060E Management Modules

FortiGate-7060E Management Modules
The FortiGate-7060E chassis includes two management modules (shelf managers), located at the top of the
chassis front panel. The management modules are factory installed and configured and is not field replaceable.
The management modules operate in an active-passive redundant configuration. By default, when the system
starts up the management module in slot MGT2 is active and the management module in slot MGT1 is passive.
The active management module always has IPMB address 0x20 and the passive management module always
has IPMB address 0x22.
If the passive management module fails, the chassis just keeps operating with the active management module. If
the active management module fails, the passive management module becomes active.
The active management module synchronizes the following data to the passive management module:
Chassis state and chassis policy
l
LAN parameters for each LAN channel, including, the IP address, gateway IP address, channel enable status, local
l
interface/non-local interface setting, and the session support flag.
The console connect feature status (enable or disable).

The active management module communicates with module SMCs in the chassis, each of which is responsible
for local management of one or more Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), including FIM and FPM modules, fan
trays, and power supplies. Management communication within a chassis occurs over the Intelligent Platform
Management Bus (IPMB).
The active management module includes LED indicators that report on the status of many of the chassis
components, including fan trays and power supplies. You can also use the management module console ports to
connect to the management module CLI and to the CLI of the modules in chassis slots 1 to 6.
The active management module controls chassis power allocation, monitors chassis operating parameters,
monitors and controls chassis cooling, and generates alarms if the chassis encounters problems. All FIM and
