Description |
This article describes how to configure the HA settings in an Active-Passive HA cluster with a Load Balancer sandwich so that when failover happens the traffic through the IPSec tunnel will not drop and will be taken over by the new primary FortiGate. |
Scope |
FortiGate-VM in Azure. |
Solution |
If the HA cluster is configured via the Fortinet automation code or the Administration Guide, the 'session-pickup-connectionless' might be enabled. This configuration causes the cluster units to synchronize UDP and ICMP sessions so if a failover happens this traffic will be maintained.

If having an Active-Passive HA cluster with a Load Balancer sandwich and also having one or more IPSec tunnels and a failover occurs, the traffic through the tunnels will be dropped and will notbe taken over by the new primary FortiGate.
To fix that, disable the 'session-pickup-connectionless'. The IPSec tunnel will be restarted after the failover and the tunnel traffic will be processed by the new primary node:
