Technical Tip: Virtual Server HTTP/2

This article describes how to use HTTP/2 in FortiGate Virtual Server.

Virtual Server is a Virtual IP type that is used to implement server load balancing.

HTTP/2 is a major upgrade to the HTTP network protocol. It improves the speed.

HTTP2 support was introduced in v7.2.4. Versions before 7.2.4 (such as v7.2.3) did not support HTTP2. 

CLI commands in FortiOS v7.2.4 to v7.2.6, and v7.4.0:

config firewall vip 

    edit <virtual_server_name>

        set http-supported-max-version http1|http2

    next

end

CLI commands for HTTP2 support in v7.4.1 and later:

config firewall vip

    edit <virtual_server_name>

        set h2-support enable|disable 

    next

end
