HA with different FG configs?

no ,not possible and would not make sense. In a true HA the master/standby are identical

Same l3 interface, routes, users,.....it's a direct copy of each other outside of if you have reserverd-dedicate mgmt interfaces

I would like to know if it is possible to have different configurations for FGs in a HA cluster? (eg. different interface IP addresses when they failover). We are running version 6.2.7 on all our FGs. I cannot find any information about my scenario elsewhere.

Yes, with FGSP : https://docs.fortinet.com...hronization-peer-setup

In HA each node needs to be 100% same hardware and fortiosversion[/ul]

 

You might want to look at VRRP but I would not use VRRP ( cfg sync, session sycn,etc......are not doable )

Hi Ken,

cfg sync, session sync, etc.. are doable with VRRP + FGSP.
