Configuring the FortiController in chassis 1 slot 2

  1. Log into the GUI or CLI of the FortiController in chassis 1 slot 2.

  2. From the Dashboard System Information widget, set the Host Name to ch1-slot2. Or enter this command.

    config system global

    set hostname ch1-slot2

    end

  3. Change the FortiController mgmt interface IP address.

    From the GUI use the Management Port widget or from the CLI enter this command:

    config system interface

    edit mgmt

    set ip 172.20.120.152/24

    end

  4. Configure Active-Passive HA. From the FortiController GUI System Information widget, beside HA Status select Configure.
  5. Set Mode to Active-Passive, set the Device Priority to 250, change the Group ID, select Enable Override, enable Chassis Redundancy, set Chassis ID to 1 and move the b1 and b2 interfaces to the Selected column and select OK.

  6. Enter the following command to use the FortiController front panel F4 interface for FortiController session sync communication between FortiControllers.

    config system ha

    set session-sync-port f4

    end

    You can also enter the complete HA configuration with this command:

    config system ha

    set mode active-passive

    set groupid 5

    set priority 250

    set override enable

    set chassis-redundancy enable

    set chassis-id 1

    set hbdev b1 b2

    set session-sync-port f4

    end

    All other configuration settings are synchronized from the primary FortiController when the cluster forms.
