•Tuning the failure threshold and probe interval
Probe settings
Configure probe settings to control the response when a FortiBridge probe detects that the FortiGate unit has failed. Probe settings consist of:
Table 11: Probe settings
Probe Setting | Description | Default | |
|
|
| |
Action on failure | Set the FortiBridge unit response when a probe detects that | fail open | |
| the FortiGate unit has failed. The FortiBridge unit can. |
| |
| • | Send alertmail |
|
| • | Fail open |
|
| • Send an SNMP trap |
| |
| • Send a message to a syslog server |
| |
| You can add up to four actions on failure. All of the |
| |
| configured actions on failure occur when the FortiBridge |
| |
| unit detects a failure. |
| |
|
|
| |
Dynamic IP | Configure the INT 2 and EXT 2 interfaces with dynamic | (none) | |
pattern | probe IP addresses. The dynamic probe IP addresses |
| |
| should not conflict with IP addresses on the network that |
| |
| the FortiGate unit is connected to. These IP addresses are |
| |
| not visible from the outside network, but they should not |
| |
| conflict with IP addresses in packets passing through the |
| |
| FortiBridge unit. You cannot change the dynamic IP pattern |
| |
| if any probes are enabled. |
| |
|
|
| |
FortiGate unit | The serial number of the FortiGate unit that the FortiBridge | (none) | |
serial number | unit is connected to. The serial number appears in |
| |
| FortiBridge alert mail, and syslog messages to identify the |
| |
| FortiGate unit. |

To configure probe settings
This procedure shows how to configure the following probe settings:
•The FortiBridge unit responds to a FortiGate unit failure by failing open and by sending an alert email, a syslog message, and an SNMP trap
•The dynamic IP pattern is 2.2.2.*
•The FortiGate unit serial number is FGT8002803923050
Note: The FortiBridge unit does not have to fail open if the FortiGate unit fails. The
FortiBridge unit can be configured just to send alerts if the FortiGate unit fails.
