Description This article describes the changes made to configuring FGSP in FortiOS versions 7.2 and 7.4.
Scope FortiOS 7.2 and 7.4 onwards.
Solution

When configuring FGSP on FortiGate until FortiOS version 7.0.x, it is necessary to configure the following two settings:

 

config system standalone-cluster
end
config system cluster-sync
end

 

From version 7.2.x, these two settings have been merged:

 

config system standalone-cluster

config cluster-peer

end

end

 

This change applies to FortiGate chassis products as well.

 

Below is an example of how to configure FGSP between two FortiGate 6000 chassis using an HA interface for session synchronization on version 7.4.1.

 

get system status
Version: FortiGate-6301F v7.4.1,build2463,230830 (GA.F)

 

On Unit1:


config system standalone-cluster

set standalone-group-id 1
set group-member-id 1

config cluster-peer

edit 1

set peervd "mgmt-vdom"
set peerip 192.168.10.12
set syncvd "root"

next

end

end

 

config system interface

edit "ha1"

set ip 192.168.10.11 255.255.255.0

next

end


On Unit2:

 

config system standalone-cluster

set standalone-group-id 1

set group-member-id 2

config cluster-peer

edit 1

set peervd "mgmt-vdom"

set peerip 192.168.10.11

set syncvd "root"

next

end

end


config system interface

edit "ha1"

set ip 192.168.10.12 255.255.255.0

next

end


Enable session pickup options on both units:

 

config system ha

set session-pickup enable
set session-pickup-connectionless enable
set session-pickup-nat enable

end

 

Configure necessary firewall policies on both units (skipped).

 

Generate some TCP traffic, and use the following command to verify the session synchronization status on both units:

 

diagnose sys session list | grep "SN\|total"

 

The output from the two units should be identical:
