| A floating IP is a virtual IP address that can move between different nodes in a high-availability (HA) cluster. Configuring network interfaces In FortiADC CLI interface configuration, the floating IP feature can be enabled, and a floating IP can be set regardless of the HA modes. config system interface edit port1 set floating enable set floating-ip 10.47.20.78 end For instance, the configuration below shows FortiADC in Active-Passive and configured with a floating IP. (P) FortiADC-1 # get sys ha-status
