| Description | This article describes how link failure causes HA failover failure. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution |
For example, HA failover has to override disabled under the HA setting, monitored interfaces are port1 and port2 as shown below:
config system ha set override disable set monitor port1 port2 end
HA failover can be triggered in the primary unit by using the command 'diagnose sys ha reset-uptime', failover has no response if there is a counter on the secondary's 'link_failure'.
The 'link_failure' counter can be checked using the command 'diagnose sys ha dump-by group' as shown below:
It is required to check the status of port1 and port2 under HA-monitored interfaces:
config system ha set monitor port1 port2 <----- end
Note: Each port failure results in 50 increments in the counter, for example, one monitored interface down is 50, and two monitored interfaces down will be 100. |
