In an Active-Passive HA setup, two FortiWeb appliances are paired, with one operating as the active appliance (also referred to as the primary or main), while the other functions as a standby (secondary) appliance. The active appliance applies security policies and processes all incoming traffic. The passive (secondary) appliance takes over traffic when the heartbeat indicates the active node is down, ensuring uninterrupted protection and availability.
