About Session-Aware Load Balanced Clusters (SLBCs)
SLBC FortiController models
- FortiController-5103B
- FortiController-5903C
- FortiController-5913C
Getting started and SLBC Basics
- SLBC licensing
  - FortiOS Carrier licensing
  - Certificates
- Changing FortiController interface configurations
- Quick SLBC cluster setup
- Managing the cluster
- Monitoring the cluster
- Worker communication with FortiGuard
- Basic cluster NAT/Route mode configuration
  - Using the GUI to configure NAT/Route mode
  - Using the CLI to configure NAT/Route mode
- Primary unit (master) selection
  - Selecting the primary FortiController (and the primary chassis)
  - Selecting the primary worker
- Adding and removing workers
  - Adding one or more new workers
  - Removing a worker from a cluster
- Adding link aggregation (LACP) to an SLBC cluster (FortiController trunks)
  - Adding an aggregated interface
- Individual FortiAnalyzer settings on each worker
  - Configuring different FortiAnalyzer settings for each SLBC worker
  - Configuring different FortiAnalyzer settings for each worker and for the root VDOM of each worker
- Adding VLANs
  - Adding a VLAN to a FortiController interface
- VRRP support
- FGCP to SLBC migration
  - Assumptions
  - Conversion steps
- Updating SLBC firmware
Configuring communication between FortiControllers
- Changing the base control subnet and VLAN
- Changing the base management subnet and VLAN
- Changing the heartbeat VLAN
- Using the FortiController-5103B mgmt interface as a heartbeat interface
- Changing the heartbeat interface mode
- Enabling session sync and configuring the session sync interface
Changing load balancing settings
- Tuning TCP load balancing performance (TCP local ingress)
- Tuning UDP load balancing (UDP local ingress and UDP remote/local session setup)
- Changing the load distribution method
- TCP and UDP local ingress session setup and round robin load balancing
- Changing how UDP sessions are processed by the cluster
- Tuning load balancing performance: fragmented sessions
- Changing session timers
Life of a TCP packet
- Life of a TCP packet (default configuration: TCP local ingress disabled)
- Life of a TCP packet (TCP local ingress enabled)
Life of a UDP packet
- Life of a UDP packet (default configuration: UDP local ingress disabled and UDP remote session setup)
- Life of a UDP packet (UDP local ingress disabled and UDP local session setup)
- Life of a UDP packet (UDP local ingress enabled and UDP remote session setup)
- Life of a UDP packet (UDP local ingress enabled and UDP local session setup)
