Technical Tip: It is impossible to configure a hardware/software switch, VLAN interface as both HA monitor and heartbeat interfaces
| Description | This article describes why it is impossible to configure a hardware/software switch, VLAN interface as both an HA monitor and heartbeat interfaces. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution | Port9 is configured as a software switch, and a test VLAN interface is configured for the port 10 interface.
In HA, while configuring the heartbeat and monitor interface, it is not possible to view the test VLAN interface and the test1 software switch interface.
Note: In HA, only physical interfaces can be configured in heartbeat and monitor interfaces and, if the interface is part of a hardware/software switch, the interface will not be visible to select as a heartbeat or monitor interface. |
