Weight values are entered in order according to the priority of the units in the cluster. For example, if you have a cluster of three FortiGate units, you can enter the following command to configure the weight values for each unit:
set system ha weight 1 3 3
This command has the following results:
•The first connection is processed by the primary unit
•The next three connections are processed by the first subordinate unit
•The next three connections are processed by the second subordinate unit
The subordinate units process more connections than the primary unit, and both subordinate units, on average, process the same number of connections.
