Fortinet achieves high availability (HA) using redundant hardware and the FortiGate 
Clustering Protocol (FGCP). Each FortiGate unit in an HA cluster enforces the same 
overall security policy and shares the same configuration settings. You can add up to 
32 FortiGate units to an HA cluster. Each FortiGate unit in an HA cluster must be the 
same model and must be running the same FortiOS firmware image.

The FortiGate units in the cluster use cluster ethernet interfaces to communicate 
cluster session information, synchronize the cluster configuration, synchronize the 
cluster routing table, 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 communication is called the HA heartbeat.

FortiGate HA supports link failover, device failover, and HA heartbeat failover.

Note: You should select the language that the management computer operating system uses.
