Hello All, Need to manage 2 FGT in my organisation running as Active-standby mode with their dedicated management port (MGT 1 or MGT 2). Is it possible to manage them individually with different ip address like 172.16.20.1/24 to MGT 1 Port of Primary device and 172.16.20.2/24 to MGT 1 Port of Secondary device. Thanks in advance

    In below doc, the port8 is the dedicated management interface on both unit.

    Thanks Toshi, I have assigned dedicated mgmt 1 Port of both active and primary units but unable to access secondary device from mgmt 1 Port. Also I have observed one thing that when I change my secondary device mgmt 1 Port to ip address 192.168.1.101 it auto changes primary mgmt 1 with same ip. Attaching image for your reference. Please guide any way out to manage both devices individually with dedicated mgmt port

    Then "config system ha" is not properly configured. Check/share the config especially under "config ha-mgmt-interfaces" as in the admin guide.
