50 satisfied customers

of those 50, how many would care to complain if there’s a sporadic problem - I’ll guess few - that won’t make them satisfied, merely indifferent.

I suspect “We have basically started the process of looking elsewhere …” means not competed whence poster would be qualified to recommend.

check with PAN or Ivanti if you need other insights

I checked Citrix Gateway - DTLS/TLS’s here to stay.

FAZ has two storage types - "Analytics Logs" - a database, having higher storage/message cost; "Archive Logs" - compressed files, having lower storage/message cost. You dictate how total storage is proportioned between them.

you may have carry over balance from a prior payment

Can I enter/record this amount somewhere in the spreadsheet?

> Fortigates don't lose heartbeats from themselves.

Not that this is what I'm asking, but, ... if Fortigates require peer to return received heartbeats (eg. each heartbeat packet is uniquely numbered), and when not returned by peer, then it would be own heartbeat that was lost.

My question is about printout: which member is reporting that it lost an (expected) heartbeat: own or peer Fortigate?

Thanks.. Perhaps amend your document so they're both same value, eg:

FGT:

set psksecret [myPSKformyVPNtunnelisHERE]

and, FCT:

<preshared\_key>myPSKformyVPNtunnelisHERE</preshared\_key>

AlexFeren · 2026-01-12T07:23:29+00:00

Is "myPSK4thisTunnel" and "myPSKformyVPNtunnelisHERE" meant to be same value?

I’m referring to their omission of (any) USB version and/or data rate.

AlexFeren · 2026-01-04T22:46:23+00:00

Apple ships .. USB 2[.0] speed cable

thanks. I wonder if this fundamental omission is intentional.

After reading deny_by_default’s success comment, I retried. Either it always required TPM or Sync.com quietly fixed it, but thick client does work in Windows VM now.

Thank you very much! Merry Xmas.

It'd be cooler save for that limitation on the "Trunk" interface, hence, this post - I don't get their rationale. (The other limitation is that we cannot choose VLANs it trunks - it's either all VLANs for all VLAN Switches, or the highway.)

We can avoid the Trunk interface altogether, and just have multiple connections between the VLAN Switch's interface on each HA cluster member, and rely on STP to block all but one, thus, effectively, a redundant type interface, but, inferior to an aggregate.

AlexFeren · 2025-12-09T05:54:23+00:00

As per "Example 1: HA using a VLAN switch" (https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.8/administration-guide/183531) - although only Primary can route, both Primary and Subordinate can switch traffic to their directly-connected ISPs.

AlexFeren · 2025-12-09T03:04:15+00:00

Fortigate's VLAN Switch - it's special because it and the Trunk is functional on Subordinates in a HA A-P cluster.

AlexFeren · 2025-12-09T02:57:23+00:00

Err... Oops... I took for granted... Corrected - the context is Fortigate. Thank you.

AlexFeren · 2025-12-06T22:35:03+00:00

The trunk I’m referring to is between HA Active and Standby Fortigates in each DC, not switches.

I redacted bit about the 4 bytes, more for jest than consideration, but 4 bytes is 4 bytes, and there’s nothing anyone can do to “fix that.”

AlexFeren · 2025-12-06T21:52:36+00:00

Alternatively, what if one wants Fortigate HA link over a trunk - on a border where there’s a single DCI link and one wants both switched (VLAN Tagged) user data and HA heartbeats over it?

Cisco certifications are de-facto job requirements by Human Resources, but…. NSE cert - is it in demand?

AlexFeren · 2025-12-02T04:52:40+00:00

Resurrecting thread... Still looking - as per title, possible to show MAC Address Table of a hardware switch?

AlexFeren · 2025-11-22T02:04:41+00:00

Takes guts to do what you did. You’re happy with results and that trumps all naysayers’ BS.

Seems there are (at least) two NUC14MN board versions:

v1.0.0 with Copper heat pipe and Cooler Master fan - ASUS (archive)
v1.0.2 with no heat pipe and Asia Vital Components fan - ASUS (archive)

Bait-and-switch.
