end

web-based manager and go to Load Balance > Status and verify that the worker
appears in the correct chassis slot.

6 Repeat these steps to add all workers to the cluster.
The worker in the lowest slot number becomes the primary unit.
7 Configure the cluster external management interface so that you can manage the
worker configuration. From the FortiController-5103B GUI go to Load Balance >
Config.
8 Edit the External Management IP/Netmask and change it to an IP address and
netmask for the network that the mgmt interfaces of the FortiController-5103B and the
FortiGate-5000 boards are connected to. The External Management IP/Netmask must
be on the same subnet as the FortiController-5103B management IP address.
You can now manage the workers by browsing to this External Management IP or by
logging into the FortiController-5103B GUI, going to Load Balance > Status and
selecting the Config Master icon beside the primary FortiGate-5000 unit, which is
always the top entry in the Worker Blade list.
