Applying the session synchronization filter only between FGSP peers in an FGCP over FGSP topology 7.2.1

This enhancement ensures that session synchronization happens correctly in an FGCP over FGSP topology:

• When the session synchronization filter is applied on FGSP, the filter will only affect sessions synchronized between the FGSP peers.
• When virtual clustering is used, sessions synchronized between each virtual cluster can also be synchronized to FGSP peers. All peers' syncvd must be in the same HA virtual cluster.

Example

In this example, there is a simplified configuration where there is no router or load balancer performing balancing between the FGSP peers, but it demonstrates the following:

• When sessions pass through FGCP A-P Cluster 1, all sessions are synchronized between the FGT_A and FGT_B regardless of the session synchronization filter.
• Session synchronization between the FGSP peers (FGCP A-P Cluster 1 and 2) only occurs for the service specified in the filter, which is HTTP/80.
• The preceding behavior is applicable when virtual clustering is configured. This example focuses on vdom2, which belongs to vcluster2. FGT_A is the primary for vcluster2.

Each FGSP A-P cluster is connected on ha as the FGCP cluster heartbeat device. The FGSP peers are connected on mgmt over 10.1.1.1-2/24.

Virtual clustering between FGT_A and FGT_B:

Interface	FGT_A	FGT_B	FGT_C	FGT_D
wan1	172.16.200.1/24	172.16.200.1/24	172.16.200.3/24	172.16.200.3/24
port1	10.1.100.1/24	10.1.100.1/24	10.1.100.2/24	10.1.100.2/24
mgmt	10.1.1.1/24	10.1.1.1/24	10.1.1.2/24	10.1.1.2/24
ha	FGCP cluster heartbeat device		FGCP cluster heartbeat device

To configure the HA clusters:

1. Configure FGCP A-P Cluster 1 (use the same configuration for FGT_A and FGT_B):

   config system ha
       set group-id 146
       set group-name "FGT_HA1"
       set mode a-p
       set hbdev "wan2" 100 "ha" 50
       set session-pickup enable
       set vcluster-status enable
       config vcluster
           edit 1
               set override enable
               set priority 25
               set monitor "wan1" "port1"
               set vdom "root"
           next
           edit 2
               set override disable
               set priority 150
               set monitor "wan1"
               set vdom "vdom2" "vdom1"
           next
       end
   end

2. Configure FGCP A-P Cluster 2 (use the same configuration for FGT_C and FGT_D):

   config system ha
       set group-id 200
       set group-name "FGT_HA2"
       set mode a-p
       set hbdev "wan2" 100 "ha" 50
       set session-pickup enable
       set vcluster-status enable
       config vcluster
           edit 1
               set override enable
               set priority 120
               set monitor "wan1" "port1"
               set vdom "root"
           next
           edit 2
               set override disable
               set priority 150
               set monitor "wan1"
               set vdom "vdom2" "vdom1"
           next
       end
   end

To configure the FGSP peers:

1. Configure FGT_A:

   config system standalone-cluster
       set standalone-group-id 1
       set group-member-id 1
       config cluster-peer
           edit 1
               set peervd "vdom2"
               set peerip 10.1.1.2
               set syncvd "vdom2"
               config session-sync-filter
                   config custom-service
                       edit 1
                           set dst-port-range 80-80
                       next
                   end
               end
           next
       end
   end

   The configuration is automatically synchronized to FGT_B.

2. Configure FGT_C:

   config system standalone-cluster
       set standalone-group-id 1
       set group-member-id 2
       config cluster-peer
           edit 1
               set peervd "vdom2"
               set peerip 10.1.1.1
               set syncvd "vdom2"
               config session-sync-filter
                   config custom-service
                       edit 1
                           set dst-port-range 80-80
                       next
                   end
               end
           next
       end
   end

   The configuration is automatically synchronized to FGT_D.

To verify the configuration:

1. Verify the FGSP peer information on Cluster 1:

   FGT_A (global) # diagnose sys ha fgsp-zone
   Local standalone-member-id: 1
   FGSP peer_num = 1
           peer[1]: standalone-member-id=2, IP=10.1.1.2, vd=vdom2, prio=1

2. Verify the FGSP peer information on Cluster 2:

   FGT_C (global) # diagnose sys ha fgsp-zone
   Local standalone-member-id: 1
   FGSP peer_num = 1
           peer[1]: standalone-member-id=1, IP=10.1.1.1, vd=vdom2, prio=1

3. Initiate two sessions, HTTP and SSH.

4. Verify that the HTTP session is synchronized from Cluster 1 to Cluster 2.

   1. Verify the session list of vdom2 on FGT_A:

Session synchronization filters are designed to be configured symmetrically on all of the FGSP peers. In cases where the filters are configured asymmetrically, note the following differences: In an FGCP over FGSP topology, session filtering will be applied on the FGSP peer that has the filtering configured and is receiving the session synchronization. In an FGSP topology between standalone peers, the filtering will be applied on the FGSP peer that has the filtering configured and is sending out the session synchronization.
