FortiManager ISP Failover Configuration Issue

Hi Fortinet Family,

 

I am currently facing an issue with configuring ISP failover for FortiManager connectivity. The current scenario is as follows:

 

I am onboarding a FortiGate firewall through FortiManager, and FMG access is currently enabled on one of the ISPs. However, I would like to ensure high availability and redundancy for management access. My goal is to configure ISP failover so that if the primary ISP goes down, FortiManager can automatically switch to the secondary (active) ISP to continue managing the FortiGate device without interruption.

 

I would appreciate any guidance or best practices on how to achieve this setup, including any specific configurations required on both the FortiGate and FortiManager sides to ensure seamless failover and reconnection.

Looking forward to your support.
