system ha {cpeer | interface | peer | secondary-interface | secondary-peer} set
system ha {cpeer | interface | peer | secondary-interface | secondary-peer}Use these commands to configure primary heartbeat interface settings for FortiMail active-passive and
config only HA groups. You can also use these commands to optionally configure the secondary
heartbeat interface settings for FortiMail active-passive HA.
For an active-passive or a config only HA group, use the set system ha interface command to
select the network interface to be used for the primary heartbeat and to configure the primary
heartbeat local IP address and netmask.
For a config only HA group use the set system ha cpeer command to add the IP address of a
backup unit (also called a peer) to the known peers list or to change the IP address of a backup unit
already added to the known peers list. The primary unit requires these IP addresses to be able to
communicate with the backup units.
For an active-passive HA group use the set system ha peer command to configure the primary
heartbeat peer IP address.
For an active-passive HA group use the set system ha secondary-interface command to
configure the network interface to be used for the secondary heartbeat and to configure the secondary
heartbeat local IP address and netmask. You can specify an interface name, disable the secondary
heartbeat, or set the secondary heartbeat to any if you don’t want to use a specific interface as the
backup heartbeat interface. any means that any interface with its HA interface configuration set to
ignore this interface using the set system ha takeover <interface_str> ignore command
can be used as the secondary heartbeat interface.
For an active-passive HA group use the set system ha secondary peer command to configure
the secondary heartbeat peer IP address.
Syntax
set system ha cpeer <cpeer_integer> <cpeer_ipv4>
set system ha interface <primary-interface_str> <primary-local_ipv4>
<netmask_ipv4>
set system ha peer <primary-peer_ipv4>
set system ha secondary-interface {<secondary-interface_str> | any |
disabled} <secondary-local_ipv4> <netmask_ipv4>
set system ha secondary-peer <secondary-peer_ipv4>
Keywords/Variables Description Default
any Set the secondary heartbeat interface to use any
interface that has been set to ignore using the set
system ha takeover command.
disabled Disable the secondary heartbeat interface.
<cpeer_integer> The number of the backup unit in the known peers list.
You can add up to 24 backup units or peers.
<cpeer_ipv4> The IP address of the config only peer unit. In a config
only HA group you would normally set 10.0.0.2 as the
peer IP address for the first backup unit, 10.0.0.3 as
the peer IP address for the second backup unit,
10.0.0.4 as the peer IP address for the third backup
unit, and so on.
