HA additional port
Hello guys,
I am a beginner on Fortigate. I have a question about the HA port.
Is it possible to configure two HA ports on each Forti 200E to create a Active/Passive cluster? I saw only one HA port on the Datasheet.
Thank you very much.

Hi hien,
Yes, you can configure 1/2/3... HA ports in A/A or A/P cluster.

Hi Faridul,
Thank you for your quick response.
So if I use port1, port2 for HA connections, this HA port will be unused. Am I right?
Is this HA port dedicated only for HA? Can I use it for other purpose?

Hi hien,
Depending on Firewall model, there might be 1/2 dedicated HA port(s), but you can use any physical port as HA port(s).
But, never use any logical port in HA, like: Software Switch port(s), Hardware Switch port(s), Redundant/Aggregation port(s)...etc.
In FortiGate:
1. Any ports can be data ports.
2. Any HA ports can be data ports.
3. You can convert any dedicated management (OOB > Out-of-Band Management) ports to data ports.
4. Yes, in FGT - You can do the combination of dedicated HA port and regular data port as HA ports.

Dear Hien,
The answer to your question is YES!
You can assign another port as HA to the dedicated HA port. With this, you will leverage on configuration and session synchronization of the cluster

Hi Shadrack,
In order to give the max port occupation, may I configure like this:
HA port and port1 (for example) for the cluster?

Yes Sure!
Go ahead and select the dedicated HA port and port1 under Heatbeat interfaces for your High Availability Setup.
