Fortinet is now supporting a floating private IP
Also interesting it uses secondary IP Addressing:
Add a secondary IP address, 172.16.32.22 in this example, to the HA nodes
config system interface
edit "port2"
set secondary-IP enable
config secondaryip
edit 1
set ip 172.16.32.22/28
set allowaccess ping
next
end
next
end
Good or Bad?
I think it’s an excellent idea that way the route table doesn’t need to be changed and the FortiGate’s will both have the IP Address already on the boxes.
