Hi Guys,

I have a question about Fortigate 6500F Clustering. Can I add 3 Unit of FG6500 to a same HA, FGCP, Cluster and then use Virtual Clustering to distribute traffic to all 3 units?

Thanks

Hello,

You can create an FGCP cluster of up to four FortiGate Units. You can also use the VIrtual clustering to distribute VDOMs to the different FGCP cluster members to distribute VDOM traffic.

I hope i answered your questions.

Thank you, but I am talking about 6000 series which they have different behavior in virtual clustering. I found in 6k series only two member is possible. I want to be sure. This is the link i have read before

Hello,

Well , it is pretty clear & direct in the article that the 6000s support Vclustering on two units only and that the root and mgmt-vdom VDOMs must be in virtual cluster 1.
