This section describes connecting and configuring a session-aware load balanced
cluster (SLBC) consisting of a FortiController-5913C board installed in slot 1 and 2 or
more workers installed in chassis slots 3 and up.
Before using this chapter, your chassis should be mounted and connected to your power
system and the boards should be installed in the chassis. The chassis and the boards
should also be powered up and the front panel LEDs should indicate that the boards are
functioning normally.
This chapter includes the following topics:
• SLBC licensing
• Connecting to the FortiController-5913C GUI
• Connecting to the FortiController-5913C CLI
• Factory default settings
• Initial session-aware load balanced cluster setup
• Upgrading cluster firmware
• Verifying the configuration and the status of the boards in the cluster
This section describes some considerations when licensing an SLBC cluster.
If the workers in an SLBC cluster will be running FortiOS Carrier, apply the FortiOS Carrier
license before configuring the cluster (and before applying other licenses). Applying the
FortiOS Carrier license sets the configuration to factory defaults, requiring you to repeat
steps performed before applying the license.
