This section provides a brief introduction to FortiController-5913C session-aware load
balancing (SALB). For more information, including example configurations see the
FortiController Session-Aware Load Balancing Guide
website (http://docs.fortinet.com).
The FortiController-5913C uses 2 on-board FortiASIC DP processors to perform high-
performance session-aware load balancing (SALB). A single FortiController-5913C can
distribute millions of concurrent sessions to up to 12 workers and start millions of new
sessions a second. If a worker fails, sessions are re-distributed to the remaining workers.
Additional FortiController-5913Cs in the same chassis can be added for redundancy or to
increase the number of network interfaces. You can also add a second chassis for
chassis redundancy.

Description
Serial connection to the
command line interface.
Not used.
100-gigabit CFP2 connection
to 100-gigabit networks. On
the FortiController-5913C GUI
and CLI these interfaces are f1
and f2. In single
FortiController-5913C mode,
workers see these as fctrl/1
and fctrl/2. In dual
FortiController-5913C mode,
workers see these as fctrl1/1,
fctrl1/2, fctrl2/1, and fctrl2/2.
10-gigabit SPF+ connection to
10-gigabit networks or
1-gigabit SPF connection to
1-gigabit networks. Small
form-factor pluggable
transceiver. For heartbeat and
management communication
between
FortiController-5913Cs.
Copper 1-gigabit connection
to 10/100/1000Base-T copper
networks for management or
system administration.
