Description

This article describes how to failover traffic group to the other node in High Availability (HA) Active-Active VRRP mode.

It may be necessary to preconfigure the HA Active-Active VRRP setup and refer to the documentation at the end of this article for more information on configuring the HA Active-Active VRRP setup.

Scope FortiADC, FortiADC-VM
Solution

For this article example, 2 traffic groups are set up at System -> Traffic Group as below:

It is possible to see this setup reflected on the HA page at System -> High Availability.

Currently, the 'traffic-group-1'' Active Device Node is Node 1, and the 'traffic-group-2' Active Device Node is Node 2.

It is possible to have a requirement to failover the traffic-group-2 to its Next Device Node (standby) which is Node 1.

Issue below CLI command for the failover (the CLI command can be issued from any Active node):

 

execute ha force standby traffic-group <specify the respective traffic group>

After the failover, the Active Device Node for the 'traffic-group-2' is now Node 1.
