Fortinet 114 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
2. Click the row of the network interface that you want to modify.
The Edit Interface dialog appears. Name displays the name and media access control (MAC)
address of this network interface. The network interface is directly associated with one
physical link as indicated by its name, such as port2.
In HA, it may use a virtual MAC instead. See “HA heartbeat & synchronization” on page 40
and “Configuring a high availability (HA) FortiWeb cluster” on page 97.
This Status column is not the detected physical link status; it is the administrative status that
indicates whether you permit network interface to receive and/or transmit packets.
For example, if the cable is physically unplugged, diagnose hardware nic list port1
or “Operation widget” on page 540 may indicate that the link is down, even though you have
administratively enabled it by clicking Bring Up.
By definition, HA heartbeat and synchronization links should always be “up.” Therefore, if
you have configured FortiWeb to use a network interface for HA, its Status column will
always display HA Member.
