Hello Team,

 

I have Fortinet firewall configure on Azure cloud as Active-passive with more than 400 Tunnels, Now i want to change mode from Active-passive to Active-Active.

 

Any official documentation to achieve the same ?

    Thank you Anthony,

    Just wanted to know , will this work if the firewall is deployed in Azure cloud ?

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    Hi ​@Aatif farooqui ,

     

    FGT in azure works slightly different when comes to active active mode since Load balancer is used

     

    Please refer below article to understand the use case

     

     

    Thanks, Salon

      Thank You Sjoshi Sir,

       

      But still i am unable to find any document where i can move my current working active-standby setup in azure cloud to active-active in azure cloud.

      Is there any document or article which can be referred to achieve this ?

      Hi ​@Aatif farooqui ,

       

      You can follow the same document and configure it to move to active active.

      Better can refer below GitHub document too which has clear explanation of the setup

      https://github.com/fortinet/azure-templates/tree/main/FortiGate/Active-Active-ELB-ILB

      Thanks, Salon
