| Description |
This article describes the behavior of FortiGate configured with HA (either Active-Active or Active-Passive mode) when the monitored interface is shut down manually by an Administrator. |
| Scope | FortiGate in HA. |
| Solution |
Shutting down the interface administratively on the Primary device will be synchronized on the Secondary device.
FGVM04TM24000444:
Fortinet1 # show sys ha set hbdev "port2" 10
Fortinet2 # show sys ha set hbdev "port2" 10
On the Primary device (Fortinet1-FGVM04TM24000444), it detected that port1's link status is down ('1 -> 0') at timestamp 16:23:31, Then the Secondary device(Fortinet2-FGVM04TM24000443) has become the primary for a few seconds until the configuration is synchronized at 16:23:32. |
