Synchronizing the cluster configuration | Fortinet FortiGate-800

High availability	Managing an HA cluster

Synchronizing the cluster configuration

Cluster synchronization keeps all units in the cluster synchronized with the master unit. This includes:

•System configuration

•Virus definition updates

•Attack definition updates

•Web filter lists

•Email filter lists

•Replacement messages

•CA certificates

•Local certificates

Synchronization with all cluster members occurs in real time as the administrator changes or adds configuration settings to the primary unit. When the primary unit downloads antivirus or attack definition updates, all cluster members also receive these updates.

From each subordinate unit, you can also use the execute ha synchronize command to manually synchronize its configuration with the primary unit. Using this command you can synchronize the following:

Table 17: execute ha synchronize keywords

Keyword	Description

config	Synchronize the FortiGate configuration. This includes normal system
	configuration, firewall configuration, VPN configuration and so on stored in the
	FortiGate configuration file.

avupd	Synchronize the antivirus engine and antivirus definitions received by the
	primary unit from the FortiResponse Distribution Network (FDN).
attackdef	Synchronize NIDS attack definition updates received by the primary unit from
	the FDN.
weblists	Synchronize web filter lists added to or changed on the primary unit.
emaillists	Synchronize email filter lists added to or changed on the primary unit.
resmsg	Synchronize replacement messages changed on the primary unit.
ca	Synchronize CA certificates added to the primary unit.
localcert	Synchronize local certificates added to the primary unit.
all	Synchronize all of the above.

To manually synchronize the configuration of subordinate units with the primary unit

1Connect to the cluster and log into the CLI.

2Connect to the CLI of each of the subordinate units in the cluster.

For information about connecting to subordinate units, see “Managing individual cluster units” on page 83.

3Use the execute ha synchronize command to synchronize the configuration of the subordinate unit.
