Study Notes
Active-Passive Load Balance Sandwich Scenario
- The load balancing protocol used in the active-passive load balance sandwich design is HA (High Availability) protocol.
- HA protocol handles traffic failover in the active-passive load balance sandwich scenario.
- 5 failed attempts per 5 seconds are allowed before failover occurs in the active-passive load balance sandwich scenario.
- Public IP addresses are configured on the External Load Balancer in the active-passive load balance sandwich scenario.
- The purpose of H-A ports is for health check in the active-passive load balance sandwich scenario.
- To exclude the configuration from being synchronized, sdn-sync should be disabled.
- A health probe must be added to the Azure Load Balancer for the health check.
- The purpose of the Internal Load Balancer is to balance traffic between FortiGate VMs.
- H-A ports are health check load balancing rules.
- The table on the slide provides a summary of the active-passive load balance sandwich scenario.
Active-Passive SDN Connector Scenario
- Two network interfaces are required for the active-passive SDN connector scenario.
- FortiGate proprietary protocol is used for communication between FortiGate VMs.
- On failover, the passive FortiGate takes over.
- The failover time depends on the ** FortiGate's configuration and the network infrastructure**.
- To exclude the configuration from being synchronized, sdn-sync should be disabled.
Load Balance Sandwich Scenarios
- One network interface is not required for the active-passive load balance sandwich scenario.
- The communication protocol used between FortiGate VMs is FortiGate proprietary protocol.
- One network interface is not required for the active-active load balance sandwich scenario.
- Two FortiGate VMs are deployed in the active-active load balance sandwich scenario.
