Hello Team,

Please we have 2 datacenters in different locations and we want to deploy the HA into the 2 datacenters in which one will be in abuja and the other HA will be in the different location  because of redundancy.

Kindly note that we have VPN Tunnel accross.

Please i want someone to guide me with the steps and configurations on how to do it.

 

Regards,

Firdausi Nababa

Hi Firdausi,


Because FortiAnalyzer HA synchronizes logs among HA units, the HA cluster can balance the load and improve overall responsiveness. Load balancing enhances the following modules:

  • Reports
  • FortiView

    FA across two datacenter cant be in HA unless you can extend L2 across two DC which will be very expensive..

      Hi @rajamanickam 

      It makes sense, so extending L2 connection across DCs improves the performance.
