Getting started with FortiGate-7000F
Fortinet Technologies Inc.
The FortiGate-7000F uses the Fortinet Security Fabric for communication and synchronization
among the FIMs and FPMs and for normal GUI operation. By default, the Security Fabric is
enabled and must remain enabled for normal operation.
You can also view the
Sensor Information
dashboard widget to confirm that system temperatures are normal and that
all power supplies and fans are operating normally.
From the menu bar at the top of the GUI, you can click on the host name and pull down a list of
the FIMs and FPMs in the FortiGate-7000F. From the list you can hover over each FIM or FPM
to see the CPU and memory usage and session count of each, change the host name, or log
into the GUI using the special management port number.
From the CLI you can use the
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy
command to view the
synchronization status of the FIMs and FPMs. If all of the FIMs and FPMs are synchronized, each output line should
include
in_sync=1
. If a line ends with
in_sync=0
, that FIM or FPM is not synchronized. The following example just
shows a few output lines:
diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy
