FortiWEB HA Problem

Hello Together

I am running a FortiWEB and Fortigate.

Can it be a problem if I run the FortiWEB in the HA cluster and the Fortigate in the HA cluster with the same default group number?
The FortiWEB is a VM.

Hi

same group id number problems are related with same mac addressess living in enviroment with more than one cluster present.


In doubt, check your "Current_HWaddr"   ( NOT the Permanent_HWadd)  for the different interfaces in your clusters.

 

Use CLI command "diagnose hardware deviceinfo nic port1" in each cluster (*)
(For Fortiweb, this is a valid CLI command too)

(*) For port1, port2, and so on.

 

Same "Current_HWaddr" value for the same port in different clusters will trigger issues

 

I don't remember how is the algorithm to build virtual mac address in a VM environment, but above test would help to avoid problems.
