FortiWiFi-60 Administration Guide
An active-passive (A-P) HA cluster, also referred to as hot standby HA, consists of a
primary FortiWiFi unit that processes traffic, and one or more subordinate FortiWiFi
units. The subordinate FortiWiFi units are connected to the network and to the primary
FortiWiFi unit but do not process traffic.
Active-active (A-A) HA load balances network traffic all the FortiWiFi units in the
cluster. An active-active HA cluster consists of a primary FortiWiFi unit that processes
traffic and one or more subordinate units that also process traffic. The primary
FortiWiFi unit uses a load balancing algorithm to distribute virus scanning to all the
FortiWiFi units in the HA cluster.
By default the FortiWiFi unit load balances virus scanning among all of the FortiWiFi
units in the cluster. Using the CLI, you can configure the FortiWiFi unit to load balance
all network traffic among the FortiWiFi units in the cluster. See the FortiGate CLI
Reference Guide for more information.
