Configuring service-based failover

Go to System > High Availability > Configuration to configure remote service monitoring, local
network interface monitoring, and local hard drive monitoring.
HA service monitoring settings are not synchronized and must be configured separately on
each primary and secondary unit.
With remote service monitoring, the secondary unit confirms that it can connect to the primary
unit over the network using SIP and HTTP connections.
With local network interface monitoring and local hard drive monitoring, the primary unit
monitors its own network interfaces and hard drives.
If service monitoring detects a failure, the effective HA operating mode of the primary unit
switches to off or failed (depending on the On failure setting).A failover then occurs, and the
effective HA operating mode of the secondary unit switches to master. For information on the
On failure option, see

Description
Select whether and how to configure the IP addresses and netmasks of the
FortiVoice unit whose effective HA mode of operation is currently master.
For example, a primary unit might be configured to receive phone call traffic
through port1 and receive heartbeat and synchronization traffic through
port3 and port4. In that case, you would configure the primary unit to set
the IP addresses or add virtual IP addresses for port1 of the secondary unit
on failover in order to mimic that of the primary unit.
• Ignore: Do not change the network interface configuration on failover,
and do not monitor. For details on service monitoring for network
interfaces, see "Configuring the network interfaces" on page
• Use: Add the specified virtual IP address and netmask to the network
interface on failover. Normally, you will configure your network so that
clients use the virtual IP address. This option results in the network
interface having two IP Addresses: the actual and the virtual.
Enter the virtual IPv4 address for this interface.
