FortiManager vrrp failover on GCP

[manelis]

Hello community,

We have a FortiManager cluster on GCP (manual failover) and we have upgraded to 7.2.1.

If anyone knows if vrrp automatic failover is supported on GCP?

Thank you in advance

Hi manelis,

Since 7.2.0 there is the new option to select for the FMG HA for VRRP failover.
Since this is a cloud platform, if the option is available, the routing is properly done, the only other factor that can affect will be if the FMG are in different AZs/regions. I believe it should work. If the option to enable VRRP failover is there, and it does not work, you might need to create a ticket with the TAC using the FMG s/n. If it is not there a new feature request through your Fortinet SE will be needed.

Thank you @vvarangoulis for the reply.

FortiManager cluster is on the same region.

But we wll install a test cluster on GCP and test it if it works.
