Chapter 9 High Availability for FortiOS 5.0 : An introduction to the FGCP : FGCP HA terminology : Full mesh HA
  
Full mesh HA
Full mesh HA is a method of removing single points of failure on a network that includes an HA cluster. FortiGate models that support redundant interfaces can be used to create a cluster configuration called full mesh HA. Full mesh HA includes redundant connections between all network components. If any single component or any single connection fails, traffic switches to the redundant component or connection.
