Select the name of the FortiGate VM in the list of virtual machines, right-click, and select Start in the menu. Hello everyone, regard the setup of FortiManager using Hyper-V, Fortinet doc says that 4 network adapters are needed, or at least that was what I got, Im not really sure if that is correct, I thought only one network adapter (virtual interface) was needed. You can now proceed to power on your FortiGate VM. Once the trial expires, most functionality is. The trial period begins the first time you start FortiWeb-VM. With promiscuous mode enabled and the correct MAC spoofing settings you should be able to configure HA between two or more FortiGate-VM for Hyper-V instances. Hypervisor FortiWeb-VM deployments include a free 15-day trial license that includes all features except: High availability (HA) FortiGuard updates Technical support You do not need to manually upload the trial license. You should not enable MAC spoofing for FortiGate HA heartbeat interfaces. But you should only enable MAC spoofing for FortiGate-VM data interfaces. In addition, because the FGCP applies virtual MAC addresses to FortiGate data interfaces and because these virtual MAC addresses mean that matching interfaces of different FortiGate-VM instances will have the same virtual MAC addresses you have to configure Hyper-V to allow MAC spoofing. If you have problems with HA mode, confirm that this is still enabled.
By default the FortiGate-VM for Hyper-V has promiscuous mode enabled in the XML configuration file in the FortiGate-VM Hyper-V image.

Promiscuous mode and support for MAC address spoofing is required for FortiGate-VM for Hyper-V to support FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) high availability (HA).
