Getting started with FortiGate-6000
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Confirming startup status
Before verifying normal operation and making configuration changes and so on you should wait until the FortiGate-6000
is completely started up and synchronized. This can take a few minutes.
To confirm that the FortiGate-6000 is synchronized, go to
Dashboard > Cluster Status
. If the system is synchronized,
the management board (slot 0) all of the FPCs (slots 1 to 6 or 1 to 10) should be visible and their
Configuration Status
should be
In Sync
. The Cluster Status monitor also indicates if any FPCs are not synchronized.
You can also view the
Sensor Information
dashboard widget to confirm that the system temperatures are normal and
that all power supplies and fans are operating normally.
From the CLI you can use the
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy
command to view the
synchronization status of the management board and FPCs. If all of the FPCs are synchronized, each output line should
include
in_sync=1
. If a line ends with
in_sync=0
, that FPC is not synchronized. The following example just shows a
few output lines:
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy
FPC6KF3E17900200, Slave, uptime=5385.45, priority=119, slot_id=2:1, idx=2, flag=0x4, in_sync=1
F6KF313E17900031, Slave, uptime=5484.74, priority=2, slot_id=1:0, idx=0, flag=0x10, in_sync=1
F6KF313E17900032, Master, uptime=5488.57, priority=1, slot_id=2:0, idx=1, flag=0x10, in_sync=1
FPC6KF3E17900201, Slave, uptime=5388.78, priority=120, slot_id=2:2, idx=2, flag=0x4, in_sync=1
F6KF313E17900031, Slave, uptime=5484.74, priority=2, slot_id=1:0, idx=0, flag=0x10, in_sync=1

Default VDOM configuration and configuring the management
interfaces
By default, when you first start up a FortiGate-6000F it is operating in Multi VDOM mode. The default Multi VDOM
configuration includes the
root
VDOM and a management VDOM named
mgmt-vdom
. The mgmt1, mgmt2, mgmt3,
ha1, and ha2 interfaces are in mgmt-vdom and all of the data interfaces are in the root VDOM.
You cannot delete or rename mgmt-vdom. You also cannot remove interfaces from it or add interfaces to it. You can
however, configure other settings such as routing required for management communication, interface IP addresses,
