Set up Security Manager hosts external IP addresses

Set up Security Manager hosts external IP addresses

When receiving log messages from Hyperscale FortiGate, each Security Manager host of FortiAnalyzer-BigData can be exposed as a distributed log collector to distribute the log traffic load. A set of external IP addresses for the hosts that your FortiGate can reach are required to receive the log message traffic.

To set up external IP addresses for Security Manage hosts:
  1. Go to Cluster Manager > Hosts and click External IPs.
  2. Set the Default Gateway and Netmask to your internal network.
  3. Enter an IP address for each host.

  4. If you have a range of continuous IP addresses, you can click Set with range and specify a Start External IP to automatically increment and set the IP addresses to all hosts.
