How to configure first alive virtual server load balance in fortiweb?

[anurag2043]

Hi,

I have configured first alive server load balance in FortiGate but now I have to migrate the configuration to Fortweb. But unfortunately I am only able to see three methods of load balance in Fortweb-Round Robin, Weighted Round Robin and Least Connection.

I need to configure primary and secondary server load balancing. How can I configure Fortiweb for first alive virtual server load balance method?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi there,

FortiWeb doesn't have such option. It has only 'Round Robin' / Weight RR / Least Connection and HTTP Session RR

First Alive on the Fortigate is actually not a load balancing technique. For example, if you add real servers A, B and C in that order, then traffic always goes to A as long as it is alive. If A goes down then traffic goes to B and if B goes down the traffic goes to C. If A comes back up, traffic goes to A.

So, I don't think, there is a need to follow the exact same config which was present there, you can use another proper load balancing technique.

Hope that helps
