Internal network
You configure the cluster by logging into the FortiController-5103B web-based manager
or CLI using its mgmt port. From here you can configure and External Management
Address for the cluster. You can use this management address to log into and configure
the primary worker. All configuration changes made to the primary worker are
synchronized to the other workers.
If the External Management IP address is 10.10.10.1 you can browse to
https://10.10.10.1 to connect to the primary worker web-based manager. You can
connect to the primary worker CLI using ssh admin@10.10.10.1, or
telnet 10.10.10.1.
You can also use the External Management IP address to connect to all of the individual
boards in a chassis just by varying the custom port number that you add to the address.
The custom port number begins with the standard port number for the protocol you are
using and is followed by the chassis slot number. For example:
• To connect with a web browser to the FortiController-5103B board in slot 1 browse to
https://10.10.10.1:44301
• To connect with a web browser to the worker in slot 4 browse to
https://10.10.10.1:44304
