Product description

When a site cannot afford the firewall to be a single point of failure, the second appliance matters as much as the first. The FortiGate 71F HA Unit (FG-71F-HA) is that second node: the same 70F-series hardware as the FG-71F, with its 128 GB SSD, sold specifically to pair with a primary 71F for an Active-Passive or Active-Active cluster.

What the HA unit is for

Buy it alongside a standard FG-71F and run the two as a cluster, so if the active member fails the standby takes over with the same policies and sessions. Like the primary, the HA unit ships as hardware only; FortiCare and FortiGuard services (FC-10-0071F- line) are ordered separately for the cluster.

Where a 71F HA pair fits

Sites that treat connectivity as critical reach for two units rather than one: a clinic that cannot stall patient intake, a payment-processing storefront, a remote office whose VPN back to head office has to stay up during a hardware fault. The 128 GB SSD on both members keeps logging consistent across a failover, so your audit trail does not break when the standby takes the active role.

Hardware alone, or hardware plus a bundle

The HA unit, like the primary, does not include security subscriptions. FortiGuard inspection on the cluster is licensed per the deployment; many buyers pair each node with its own FortiCare and FortiGuard term, or roll the protection into bundle SKUs at the primary. If you want help sizing the license for a two-node setup, we can map it before you order.

Who runs it

Canadian small and mid-sized organizations that have already chosen the 71F for a branch and now need resilience at that branch. It is the natural companion SKU, not a standalone purchase.

Moving up

If the protected site is outgrowing the 71F’s inspection ceiling, build the redundant pair on the next tier instead: the FG-81F-HA gives the same Active-Passive design with more deep-inspection headroom.

Frequently asked questions

How is the FG-71F-HA different from a regular FG-71F?

The hardware is the same 70F-series build with a 128 GB SSD. The HA unit is sold and priced as the dedicated second node for a high-availability cluster rather than as a standalone firewall.

Do I need a separate primary unit?

Yes. The HA unit is meant to pair with a primary FG-71F. The two run together as an Active-Passive or Active-Active cluster.

Does the HA unit include FortiGuard licensing?

No. It ships as hardware only. FortiCare and FortiGuard subscriptions for the cluster are ordered separately under the FC-10-0071F- service line.

Which HA modes does it support?

FortiOS supports Active-Passive, Active-Active, and clustering on the 71F platform, so you can choose the design that matches your failover and throughput goals.

Is the FG-71F-HA stocked and shipped in Canada?

Yes. We keep it in Canadian inventory and ship free to all provinces in 0 to 1 business day, brand new and factory-sealed.
