Chapter 9 High Availability : HA and failover protection : Synchronizing the configuration
  
Synchronizing the configuration
The FGCP uses a combination of incremental and periodic synchronization to make sure that the configuration of all cluster units is synchronized to that of the primary unit.
The following settings are not synchronized between cluster units:
HA override.
HA device priority.
The virtual cluster priority.
The FortiGate unit host name.
The HA priority setting for a ping server (or dead gateway detection) configuration.
The system interface settings of the HA reserved management interface.
The HA default route for the reserved management interface, set using the ha‑mgt‑interface-gateway option of the config system ha command.
The primary unit synchronizes all other configuration settings, including the other HA configuration settings.
