Hi,
I dont get an original Fortinet Fiber Transeiver UP in networks. We have a FG200F cluster (7.0.13) and we would like to use this conncetion for HA heartbeat Interface and HA Monitor Interface with X1 and X2.
Checking the hardware on CLI I get;

Strange thing is that with Cisco Transeiver we get the message that it is not certified but it works fine:

We tried also with other cables and they are new.
What can we do?
Thanks,

Hello
On the other hand, I read somewhere that it is recommended to use HA dedicated ports because they are not under NPU.
In case you have a switch in between, you may need to activate L3 for ha communication, or change ethertype as per below link:
Technical Tip: FortiGate HA Heartbeat packet Ether... - Fortinet Community

Hi,
no they are both connected directly to the FGs, so no switch between them. We ordered 10 Transceiver modules from Fortinet just to be sure. Some of them we wanted to use in the SPF for HA Monitor and Heartbeat, we also use the HA interface of course.
I really dont know why we cant get them UP, I can see the information of the transceiver and we tried like 4 of them. And again, the ones from Cisco are working, we get them UP in X1, X2 right away. The only difference is that I think the cable is cupper.
Thanks!
No, no lights. I send the CLI with diag hardware deviceinfo nic x2. We bought the cable from Amazon double LC, should be OK.
I will check with the command
Please share command output, cable PN and SFP PN.
Hello,
I get this:

Still no lights or UP under network. The PN I dont know what it is, i can send you the link from amazon:
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hello
According to Amazon this cable monomode, so it will not work with your multimode SFP.
You just have to use a multimode cable.
Hello,
now we have a new multimode cable and the interface is still down.

Is it possible that it will not work under these circumstances? Again we would like to use the X1 and X3 Interface as Heartbeat monitor for the HA conecting directly from primary to slave FG.
Thanks!
