Configuring the FortiController in chassis 2

Configuring the FortiController in chassis 2

  1. Log into the FortiController in chassis 2.
  2. From the Dashboard System Information widget, set the Host Name to ch2-slot1. Or enter this command.

    config system global

    set hostname ch1-slot1

    end

  3. Enter the following command to duplicate the HA configuration of the FortiController in chassis 1.

    Except, do not select Enable Override and set the Device Priority to a lower value (for example, 10), and set the Chassis ID to 2.

    All other configuration settings are synchronized from the primary FortiController when the cluster forms.

    You can also enter the complete HA configuration with this command:

    config system ha

    set mode active-passive

    set groupid 5

    set priority 10

    set chassis-redundancy enable

    set chassis-id 2

    set hbdev b1 b2

    set session-sync-port f4

    end
