HA in NAT/Route mode
High availability
The 4/HA interface of each FortiGate-400 unit must be configured with a different IP
address. The addresses of the 4/HA interfaces must be on the same subnet and they
must be configured for management access.
Repeat the following procedure for each FortiGate unit in the HA cluster:
1
Connect to the FortiGate unit and log into the web-based manager.
2
Go to
System > Network > Interface
.
3
For the port4/ha interface, select Modify
.
4
Select Work as HA to configure port4/ha for HA operation.
When the FortiGate unit is configured for HA operation, you cannot connect a network
to the 4/HA interface.
5
Change the IP address and Netmask as required.
6
Select the management access methods for the HA interface.
7
Select Apply.
Now that you have configured the HA interfaces, proceed to
“Configuring the HA
cluster”
.
