Situation Overview When restoring a configuration on one cluster node, the entire configuration of the other nodes was overwritten — including settings that are supposed to remain unique and unsynced, such as hostnames, management…
Organizations that manage multiple FortiGate devices often rely on standardised configurations to streamline deployment and simplify ongoing management.
