Fortinet fortigate-300 Installationsanweisungen

Use the following procedure to configure each FortiGate unit for HA operation.

Changing the host name is optional, but you can use host names to identify individual 
cluster units.

Power on the FortiGate unit to be configured.

Connect to the web-based manager.
See 

.

Go to System > Status.

In the Host Name field of the Unit Information section, select Change.

Type a new host name and select OK.

The schedule controls load balancing among the FortiGate units in the 

active-active HA cluster. The schedule must be the same for all FortiGate 

units in the HA cluster.
None

No load balancing. Select None when the cluster interfaces 

are connected to load balancing switches.

Load balancing for hubs. Select Hub if the cluster interfaces 

are connected to a hub. Traffic is distributed to units in a 

cluster based on the Source IP and Destination IP of the 

packet.

Least connection load balancing. If the FortiGate units are 

connected using switches, select Least connection to 

distribute traffic to the cluster unit with the fewest 

concurrent connections.

Round robin load balancing. If the FortiGate units are 

connected using switches, select round robin to distribute 

traffic to the next available cluster unit.

Weighted round robin load balancing. Similar to round 

robin, but weighted values are assigned to each of the units 

in a cluster based on their capacity and on how many 

connections they are currently processing. For example, 

the primary unit should have a lower weighted value 

because it handles scheduling and forwards traffic. 

Weighted round robin distributes traffic more evenly 

because units that are not processing traffic will be more 

likely to receive new connections than units that are very 

busy.

Random load balancing. If the FortiGate units are 

connected using switches, select random to randomly 

distribute traffic to cluster units.

Load balancing according to IP address. If the FortiGate 

units are connected using switches, select IP to distribute 

traffic to units in a cluster based on the Source IP and 

Destination IP of the packet.

Load balancing according to IP address and port. If the 

FortiGate units are connected using switches, select IP Port 

to distribute traffic to units in a cluster based on the Source 

IP, Source Port, Destination IP, and Destination port of the 

packet.
