Configuring The Slbc Management Interface; Confirming Startup Status - Fortinet FortiGate-7000F Series System Manual

Getting started with FortiGate-7000F

Configuring the SLBC management interface

To be able to use special SLBC management interface features, such as being able to log into any FIM or FPM using the
management interface IP address and a special port number, you need to use the following command to select a
FortiGate-7000F management interface to be the SLBC management interface.
You can use any of the FIM or FPM management interfaces to be the SLBC management interface. The following
example uses the MGMT 1 interface of the FIM in slot 1. In the GUI and CLI the name of this interface is 1-mgmt1.
Enter the following command to set the 1-mgmt1 interface to be the SLBC management interface:
config global
config load-balance setting
set slbc-mgmt-intf 1-mgmt1
end
To manage individual FIMs or FPMs using special management ports, the SLBC interface must be connected to a
network.

Confirming startup status

Before verifying normal operation and making configuration changes and so on you should wait until the FortiGate-
7000F is completely started up and synchronized. This can take a few minutes.
To confirm that the FortiGate-7000F is synchronized, go to Monitor > Configuration Sync Monitor. If the system is
synchronized, all the FIMs and FPMs should be visible, and their Configuration Status should be In Sync. The
Configuration Sync Monitor also indicates if any modules are not synchronized.
FortiGate-7121F System Guide
The slbc-mgmt-intf option is blank by default and must be set to be able to manage
individual FIMs and FPMs using the SLBC management interface IP address and special port
numbers. If you decide to use a different management interface, you must also change the
slbc-mgmt-intf to that interface.
