Management access | FortiGate / FortiOS 7.0.0 | Fortinet Document Library

"Management access to the FortiGate will be limited to a single physical interface."

Foritgate 80E, has 2 WAN ports, but it is really not possible to access management GUI both public IP address on WAN1 and WAN2.

 

So far, I can access management GUI on WAN1 public IP address only.

Hi @560832Global ,

 

Could you please show your WAN2 interface settings and the routing table on FGT?

 

# get router info routing-table all

 

It's better to provide the FGT config if you don't mind.

From this command, I noticed the higher AD distance was not on the routing-table.

I set the same AD distance on both static routes, then I got the access to management page.

Don't do that. It is totally insecure.

I would like to know if it is possible to allow management access to 2 physical wan port.

It should be possible but I could not find any official document so far.
