By default, the FortiGate-4200F, 4201F, 4400F, 4401F, 4800F, and 4801F HA and AUX interfaces are not connected to the NP7 processors.
Normally, separating the traffic on the HA and AUX interfaces from the data traffic provides optimal performance and system stability. However, in some cases you might be able to improve some aspects of system performance by connecting the HA or AUX interfaces to the NP7 processors. For example, in some cases, FGCP or FGSP session synchronization may be improved by connecting HA or AUX interfaces to the NP7 processors and using them for FGCP or FGSP session synchronization.
The FortiGate-4200F, 4201F, 4400F, 4401F, 4800F, and 4801F include the following command that can be used to connect HA and AUX interfaces to the NP7 processors:
config system npu
config port-path-option
set ports-using-npu <interfaces>
end
<interfaces>
can be one or more HA and AUX interfaces.
For example, the following command connects to the HA1 and HA2 interfaces to the NP7 processor:
config system npu
config port-path-option
set ports-using-npu ha1 ha2
end
When connected to the NP7 processor, the HA and AUX interfaces operate in the same way as data interfaces accelerated by NP7 processors. In some configurations, using data interfaces for FGCP or FGSP heartbeat or session synchronization may improve performance or session synchronization.
