HA in-band management for management interfaces

The FortiGate-7000F now supports FGCP HA in-band management for FortiGate-7000F management interfaces (mgmt1 and mgmt2).

HA in-band management allows you to add a second management IP address to one or more FortiGate-7000F management interfaces. The management IP address is accessible from the network that the interface is connected to. This setting is not synchronized, so each FortiGate-7000F in the cluster can have their own in-band management IP addresses; providing management access to the secondary FortiGate-7000F.

Note

FortiGate-7000F does not support HA in-band management for data interfaces.

HA in-band management configuration.

config vdom

edit mgmt-vdom

config system interface

edit {1-mgmt1 | 1-mgmt2 | 2-mgmt1 | 2-mgmt2}

set management-ip <ip address>

end

The management-ip option is available only when HA is enabled.

To support HA in-band management, the FortiGate-7000F handles HA virtual MAC addresses in the same way as other FortiGates.
