To connect a FortiGate HA cluster
Use the following procedure to connect a cluster operating in NAT/Route mode or
Transparent mode. Connect the FortiGate units in the cluster to each other and to
your network. You must connect all matching interfaces in the cluster to the same hub
or switch. Then you must connect these interfaces to their networks using the same
hub or switch.
Fortinet recommends using switches for all cluster connections for the best
performance.
The FortiGate units in the cluster use cluster ethernet interfaces to communicate
cluster session information, synchronize the cluster configuration, and report
individual cluster member status. The units in the cluster are constantly
communicating HA status information to make sure that the cluster is operating
properly. This cluster communication is also called the cluster heartbeat.
