Hi,

In a failover pair can I use different SFP modules.

Primary - Port 23 10GB SFP

Secondary - Port 23 1GB SFP

 

Our backup internet connection is a different speed from the primary connection.

 

regards,

Chris.

    Your backup internet connection MUST be on a different port and both connections need to be connected to both firewalls through a switch. This is in all the guides on how to set up HA, like this one: http://docs.fortinet.com/...an-with-fgcp-ha-expert HA config is fully synced, so all logical connections must be identical between cluster units.
