GUI item Description
Mode Status
Configured
Operating
Mode
Displays the HA operating mode that you configured, either:
• master: Configured to be the primary unit of an
active-passive group.
• slave: Configured to be the secondary unit of an
active-passive group.
For information on configuring the HA operating mode, see
“Mode of operation” on page 62.
After a failure, the FortiVoice unit may not be acting in its
configured HA operating mode. For details, see “Effective
Operating Mode” on page 58.
Effective
Operating
Mode
Displays the mode that the unit is currently operating in, either:
• master: Acting as primary unit.
• slave: Acting as secondary unit.
• off: For primary units, this indicates that service/interface
monitoring has detected a failure and has taken the
primary unit offline, triggering failover. For secondary units,
this indicates that synchronization has failed once; a
subsequent failure will trigger failover. For details, see “On
failure” on page 62.
• failed: Service/network interface monitoring has detected a
failure and the diagnostic connection is currently
determining whether the problem has been corrected or
failover is required. For details, see “On failure” on page 62.
The configured HA operating mode matches the effective
operating mode unless a failure has occurred.
For example, after a failover, a FortiVoice unit configured to
operate as a secondary unit could be acting as a primary unit.
For explanations of combinations of configured and effective
HA modes of operation, see Table 8.
For information on restoring the FortiVoice unit to an effective
HA operating mode that matches the configured operating
mode, see “click HERE to restore configured operating mode”
on page 59.
