| Description |
This article describes an issue encountered when attempting to configure port2 (or any other port) as the cluster’s internal communication port while it is already configured as an 'admin-port'. |
| Scope | FortiSandbox. |
| Solution |
To illustrate the configuration and resulting error, consider the following example:
hc-settings -sc -tM -nPrimaryA -cTestHCsystem -ppassw0rd -iport2
The command output below shows the current interface configuration:
> show
To resolve this error, remove the admin-port assignment from port2 before designating it as the internal cluster communication port. This can be done by executing the following command:
unset admin-port port2
Once this is done, port2 can be successfully configured for internal cluster communication. |
