Load balancing and failover HA. Each cluster unit actively processes 

connections and monitors the status of the other FortiGate units in the cluster. 

The primary FortiGate unit in the cluster controls load balancing among all of 

the cluster units.

Active-Passive Failover HA. The primary FortiGate unit in the cluster processes all 

connections. All other FortiGate units in the cluster passively monitor the 

cluster status and remain synchronized with the primary FortiGate unit.
