Fortimanager shows fortigate down after failover

Hi,

 

We have a Fortigate HA Cluster that is managed in Fortimanager.

When we do a failover it says in fortimanager that the cluster is down.

I can ping from the fortigate: fortimanager.forticloud.com. It still uses the same source IP to communicate with Fortimanager.

In the debug i can only see 2024-06-24 11:35:49 FGFMs: __session_cb,125: fgfm_fqdn_connect fail..

 

Do you have any idea?

 

best regards,

 

Michael

Hi Micahel,

 

If your FMG CLI able to enable the configuration below please enabled it.
#config system global

#set fgfm-peercert-withoutsn enable

 

While adding the device from FMG, in your FGT CLI, please run the command below:

#exec central-mgmt register-device <FMG S/N> <password>
