HA between different models

[Mutallib]

Hi, 

I have Fortigate-224B, and I am planning to purchase the new Fortigate-94D or 100D.

So Can I make the HA between these to models.

Do I need the OS to be the same version, and also the number of post etc. to match the same for my HA to work?

Thanks

Hello

you need to have the same model, same firmware and same license.

But you can do VRRP to have the redundancy.

We had a topic on that.... topic... IIRC only in an active active cluster

We have a 200F and are considering a ha cluster.
My UTM license will work on both?

or do you need 2 subscriptions when FG2 may never get promoted to primary?

As stated by @hklb in 2015, the new 200F needs the same license including UTM/UTP with the current 200F.

Agreed everything needs to be the same.if you want a later model, try to engage your FTNT sales team for a trade-up or customer loyalty  discount. This allow you to  move from a older platform to a newer C  or D model to take advanatge of  the latest   5.2.x offerings.
