FortiGate-7060E System Management Modules

FortiGate-7060E System Management Modules
The FortiGate-7060E chassis includes two System Management Modules (SMMs) or shelf managers, located at the top
of the chassis front panel. The SMMs are factory installed and configured and are not field replaceable.
The SMMs operate in an active-passive redundant configuration. By default, when the system starts up the SMM in slot
M2 is active and the SMM in slot M1 is passive. The active SMM always has IPMB address 0x20 and the passive SMM
always has IPMB address 0x22.
If the passive SMM fails, the chassis just keeps operating with the active SMM. If the active SMM fails, the passive
SMM becomes active.
The active SMM synchronizes the following data to the passive SMM:
Chassis state and chassis policy
l
LAN parameters for each LAN channel, including, the IP address, gateway IP address, channel enable status, local
l
interface/non-local interface setting, and the session support flag.
The console connect feature status (enable or disable).

The active SMM communicates with module SMCs in the chassis, each of which is responsible for local management of
one or more Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), including FIM and FPM modules, fan trays, and power supplies.
Management communication within a chassis occurs over the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB).
The active SMM includes LED indicators that report on the status of many of the chassis components, including fan
trays and power supplies. You can also use the SMM console ports to connect to the SMM CLI and to the CLI of the
modules in chassis slots 1 to 6.
The active SMM controls chassis power allocation, monitors chassis operating parameters, monitors and controls
chassis cooling, and generates alarms if the chassis encounters problems. All FIM and FPM modules installed in the
chassis communicate with the active SMM through the module's IPMB. FIM and FPM module power on/off requires
authorization from the active SMM and the active SMM controls the power supplied by the chassis power systems to the
modules.
