This section describes the configuration of several non-network features, such as
HA, SNMP, custom replacement messages, and VDOM operation.
The following topics are included in this section:
• HA
• SNMP
• Replacement messages
• Operation mode and VDOM management access
HA, SNMP and Replacement messages are part of the global configuration of the
FortiGate unit. Changing operation mode applies to each individual VDOM.
FortiGate high availability (HA) provides a solution for two key requirements of
critical enterprise networking components: enhanced reliability and increased
performance. This section contains a brief description of HA web-based manager
configuration options, the HA cluster members list, HA statistics, and the
disconnecting cluster members.
For complete information about how to configure and operate FortiGate HA
clusters see the FortiGate HA
Knowledge Center.
Note: For FortiOS v3.0 MR2 and previous versions, this HA section included extensive
detail about HA. Starting with FortiOS v3.0 MR3 you should refer to the
Overview or the FortiGate HA Guide
HA is not available on FortiGate models 50A, 50AM and 224B. HA is available on
