How Do I Select The Secondary Firewall n GUI For HA?

Hello

When I go to the GUI for my HA Firewall, only the HA:Primary firewall will appear.

How do I go to the secondary HA Firewall?

 

In Palo Alto, I can assign an ip address for the primary firewall (e.g 1.1.1.1), another ip adress (e.g. 1.1.1.2)for the secondary firewall and a virtual ip address for the cluster (eg. 1.1.1.3).

 

So if I want to go to the secondary firewall to check I can go to 1.1.1.2.

 

Can I do something similar for fortigate firewall?

@Network_Engineer: the CLI command you posted will open a telnet session across the HA link, from one cluster member to the other. This is nice if you don't have HA mgmt addresses configured - it's more of a workaround.

In general, you would create those HA mgmt addresses and use them for GUI or ssh access.
