Ha sync config delay

Hello, everyone,
but is it possible to configure the HA of two FGTs when they synchronize the configuration with a delay ?

I read something about a hw-session-sync-dev command but my two FGTs (200F) with release 7.2.3 do not have it.

 

Has anyone ever tried this ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello Fabio, 

 

According to the CLI reference below there is no setting as the one you mentioned. 
There are different settings to delay route sync, or to delay failover events which you can see below:

Hope this helps!

All config changes are sync'ed as quick as possible to ensure that the cluster is functional and the other cluster member can take over at any instant. Thus, a delay in synchronizing wouldn't really make sense.

 

Let's get at it from a different perspective: what are you trying to achieve? What is your intention? Maybe there is a different way, not involving the HA sync process.
