• Active passive HA configuration where the primary FortiController-5103B board is
processing traffic and the subordinate FortiController-5103B board is in hot standby
mode. Sessions are synchronized between the FortiController-5103B boards and if
the primary fails all sessions are taken up by the subordinate with minimal disruption.
• Dual FortiController mode where both FortiController-5103B boards are processing
traffic and load balancing it to all the workers. The FortiController-5103B board in
slot1 is the primary FortiController-5103B board for management purposes, but the
F1 to F8 ports on both FortiController-5103B boards are active. The workers show 16
interfaces named fctrl1/f1 to fctrl1/f8 and fctrl2/f1 to fctrl2/f8.
Adding a second Chassis
You can also add a second chassis for chassis failover. Chassis failover is supported for
active-passive HA and dual mode configurations. A dual-chassis active-passive HA
configuration can involved one or two FortiController-5103B boards in each chassis.
