FortiGate-7000F FGSP

FortiGate-7000F supports the FortiGate Session Life Support Protocol (FGSP) (also called standalone session sync) to synchronize sessions among up to four FortiGate-7000Fs

For details about FGSP, see: FGSP.

You have the following options for selecting interfaces to use for FGSP session synchronization:

• Up to eight physical data interfaces.

• One or more data interface LAGs.

• VLANs added to the data interfaces or data interface LAGs.

• The M1 to M4 interfaces of either FIM.

• A LAG consisting of the M1 to M4 interfaces of one or both FIMs.

You can use configuration synchronization to synchronize the configurations of the FortiGate-7000Fs in the FGSP deployment (see Standalone configuration synchronization). You can use the M1 to M4 interfaces for configuration synchronization. You can also configure the FortiGate-7000Fs separately or use FortiManager to keep key parts of the configuration, such as security policies, synchronized.

FortiGate-7000F FGSP support has the following limitations:

• FortiGate-7000F FGSP doesn't support setting up IPv6 session filters using the config session-sync-filter option.
• Asymmetric IPv6 SCTP traffic sessions are not supported. These sessions are dropped.
• Inter-cluster session synchronization, or FGSP between FGCP clusters, is not supported for the FortiGate-7000F.
• FGSP IPsec tunnel synchronization is not supported.
• Fragmented packet synchronization is not supported.
