the FortiGate unit assumes that the gateway is no longer functioning.
4 Select Apply.
Fortinet achieves high availability (HA) using redundant hardware and the FortiGate
Clustering Protocol (FGCP). Each FortiGate unit in an HA cluster enforces the same
overall security policy and shares the same configuration settings. You can add up to
32 FortiGate units to an HA cluster. Each FortiGate unit in an HA cluster must be the
same model and must be running the same FortiOS firmware image.
The FortiGate units in the cluster use cluster ethernet interfaces to communicate
cluster session information, synchronize the cluster configuration, synchronize the
cluster routing table, and report individual cluster member status. The units in the
cluster are constantly communicating HA status information to make sure that the
cluster is operating properly. This communication is called the HA heartbeat.
FortiGate HA supports link failover, device failover, and HA heartbeat failover.
