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
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.
